Jean Gagnerot Pommard 2022

Jean Gagnerot Pommard 2022 brings the classic power and structure of Pommard into a beautifully polished, modern expression of Burgundy Pinot Noir. Sourced from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most characterful villages, this red combines depth, dark fruit and a firm yet refined backbone of tannin. It’s a compelling choice for Burgundy lovers who enjoy a fuller, more muscular style of Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) with real aging potential. Pommard has long been known as one of Burgundy’s most robust red wine appellations, celebrated since the 19th century for producing wines of substance and longevity. Jean Gagnerot builds on that heritage, crafting a wine that captures Pommard’s quintessential personality while remaining accessible and inviting in its youth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Jean Gagnerot Pommard 2022 shows a deep, vibrant ruby color with garnet reflections at the rim, hinting at concentration and youth. The nose opens with ripe black cherry, wild strawberry and mulberry, followed by notes of dried rose petals, violets, and a subtle earthiness. With air, secondary layers emerge: sweet spices like clove and cinnamon, a touch of cocoa, and a fine thread of toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied for Pinot Noir, with a firm but well-integrated tannic structure that is characteristic of Pommard. Juicy red and black cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry are framed by lively acidity, giving the wine both freshness and length. Underneath the fruit, you’ll find hints of forest floor, truffle, and a faint mineral edge, supported by discreet oak influence. The finish is long, slightly savory and mouthcoating, suggesting that this 2022 vintage has the stuffing to develop complexity over time. Enjoyable now with a good decant, it should evolve gracefully over the next 7–10 years, gaining more tertiary notes of leather, dried herbs and game.

Production
This Pommard 2022 is crafted from Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) grown on the clay-limestone slopes typical of the Côte de Beaune, where well-drained soils and a temperate continental climate encourage both ripeness and structure. The vines draw deeply into mineral-rich subsoils, contributing to the wine’s tension and earthy nuance. Harvest is typically carried out by hand to ensure careful selection of bunches and to preserve whole berries in optimal condition. After gentle destemming and a cold soak to enhance color and aromatic expression, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats with regular punch-downs or pump-overs to extract fine tannins and flavor. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for several months, with a judicious use of new oak, allowing the fruit and terroir character to remain at the forefront while gaining texture, spice and harmony.

Food & Serving
Jean Gagnerot Pommard 2022 is a natural partner for rich, savory dishes that can stand up to its structure and depth. Think roasted duck breast with cherry sauce, coq au vin, braised beef cheeks, lamb shank, or classic Burgundian fare like boeuf bourguignon and roast pork with herbs. It also pairs beautifully with truffled dishes, mushroom ragouts, game birds, and aged hard cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère. Serve at around 16–18°C (60–64°F) to highlight its aromatic complexity and refined tannins. Decanting for 45–60 minutes is recommended in its youth to open up the bouquet and soften the structure; as the wine matures, a shorter decant will suffice mainly to remove any sediment.

Producer
The Jean Gagnerot name has its roots in the classic Burgundy tradition of négociants-éleveurs, houses that have long specialized in selecting and maturing wines from some of the region’s best appellations.
