Pommard Trois Follots Prunier-Damy 2021

The Pommard appellation in the Côte de Beaune is renowned for producing powerful, ripe red wines designed for laying down. Prunier-Damy’s ‘Trois Follots’ is no exception, reflected in its fleshy body and tannins which, although fine, are present and will mellow with age. It releases a powerful fragrance with hints of red and black fruit, plum, blackberry and blackcurrant.
The Pinot Noir grapes used to create this wine come from vines planted in the 1950s, producing low but concentrated yields. They are meticulously nurtured, using sustainable methods, on a steep hillside near the renowned ‘Rugiens’ Premier Cru.
In the winery, the grapes are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Close attention is paid to temperature control, to ensure that the delicate fruit and the perfect measure of structure are preserved. With this in mind, the winemaking process is designed to be gentle, favouring light treading and pump overs. Once fermentation is complete, the grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The wine is then left to age in casks for a year, with 30% new wood.
