Pommard Vieilles Vignes Henri Clerc 2009

The wine

Domaine Henri Clerc has produced an elegant, deep, slightly spicy Pommard. It will require a few years of cellaring to temper its tannic content.

About the Producer Henri Clerc

Domaine Henri Clerc et Fils was founded in the 16th century in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet. In 2002, his descendant Bernard Clerc, retired and sold a large part of his vines to Vincent Girardin. The latter vinifies and matures his wines at Meursault, after manual harvesting of the prestigious vines of the Côte de Beaune, such as Bienvenue, Bâtard-Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet. The time taken for aging in oak barrels (of which 30% are renewed each year), varies between 11 and 13 months
