Regnard Pommard 2021

Regnard Pommard 2021 is a classic expression of Côte de Beaune Pinot Noir, capturing the power and earthy depth that have made Pommard one of Burgundy’s most revered villages. Crafted by the historic Maison Regnard, this cuvée combines structure and finesse, offering a serious yet approachable red Burgundy from an excellent Burgundian house. It’s a wine that will appeal equally to collectors and to those looking to experience an authentic, village-level Pommard at its youthful, energetic best.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Regnard Pommard 2021 shows a deep, vibrant ruby color with garnet reflections towards the rim, signalling both concentration and classic Pinot character. The nose is expressive and layered: ripe red and black cherries, wild strawberries and crushed raspberries are supported by notes of violets, damp earth, and subtle forest floor. Gentle oak nuances of clove, vanilla bean and a hint of toast add complexity without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, this Pommard is medium-bodied yet firmly structured, with the appellation’s hallmark tannic backbone wrapped around juicy, red-berry fruit. Flavors of cherry, red currant and plum unfold into savory undertones of dried herbs, black tea, and a touch of cocoa. The tannins are fine but confident, promising graceful evolution, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and long on the finish. Enjoyable now with a bit of air, the 2021 vintage has a solid aging potential of 7–10 years from vintage, during which it will gain additional complexity, softness, and tertiary notes of truffle, game and leather.

Production
Maison Regnard sources its Pommard from carefully selected vineyards on the clay-limestone slopes of the Côte de Beaune, where well-draining soils and a temperate continental climate provide ideal conditions for Pinot Noir. The terroir of Pommard is known for slightly heavier clay content than its neighbors, contributing to the wine’s deeper color, firmer structure and savory character. Grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure precise selection of bunches and to preserve whole berries at the winery. After gentle destemming and crushing, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats, allowing for a gradual extraction of color, aroma and tannin. Maceration on the skins is carried out long enough to capture Pommard’s signature power without harshness, followed by maturation in French oak barrels—often a mix of new and seasoned wood—to refine texture and add subtle spice, while keeping the purity of Pinot Noir fruit at the forefront.

Food & Serving
Regnard Pommard 2021 is a natural match for rich, savory dishes that can stand up to its structure and earthy depth. Think roast duck with cherries, beef bourguignon, grilled lamb chops, or game birds such as pheasant or partridge. It also pairs beautifully with mushroom-based dishes—wild mushroom risotto, truffle-infused pasta, or a simple plate of roasted root vegetables with herbs—and with semi-hard cheeses like Comté, Tomme de Savoie, or aged Gouda. Serve at 16–18°C (about 60–64°F) to highlight both aromatics and texture. Decanting for 30–60 minutes before serving is recommended in its youth, helping the tannins soften and the bouquet to open fully.
