Joseph Drouhin Pommard 1er Cru Chanlins-Bas 2018.
The Pommard Premier Cru Chanlins-Bas shows a beautiful bright ruby-red colour. Its nose reveals mild and rich notes of red and black fruits (red currant, blackberry, blueberry). The palate offers a beautiful finesse and a long aftertaste on a delicate tannic structure.
Producing commune: Pommard.
Site: in the southern section of Pommard, the Pommard Chanlins-Bas Premier Cru is located near the Rugiens.
History & tradition: there must have been vines planted here for a long time. More than 2,000 years ago, the Gauls selected and propagated the Pinot Noir grape in this location. A temple dedicated to Pomona, the Celtic goddess, may be at the origin of the name.
Soil: clay and limestone.
