Xavier Monnot 'Les Vignots' Pommard 2021

Land: 'Les Vignots' in Pommard, located up the slope behind the village, enjoys a south-facing position. The elevation, over 300 meters, brings a certain finesse and high-toned aromas to the wines, while still keeping the characteristic power of Pommard. Wine: The 2021 'Les Vignots' Pommard reflects the character of its terroir. The vines, with an average age of 50 years, contribute to the wine's depth. The use of 10% whole clusters and aging in 30% new oak balance the wine's structure and flavor, highlighting the unique qualities of Pommard wines. People: Xavier Monnot, with roots in Meursault winemaking, shifted to his own label in 2005, introducing significant changes in both vineyard and cellar practices. His approach emphasizes the fruit's purity, wine's elegance, and overall complexity. With a commitment to 'lutte raisonnée' and maintaining an average vine age of 30 to 40 years, Xavier blends tradition with a modern touch.
