"A highly attractive, fresh and ripe Pommard. Very intense for a village cru, owing to the old vine, quality site from which this is sourced. Medium bodied, it has ample red fruit and plum flavours, with gentle earthiness that emerges on the long, poised finish. Dense and abundant, it is one of the finest Pommards we have tasted in a long time." - Wine House
"The Launay family settled in Pommard in the 18th century and over the years acquired impressive set of vineyards: The 4 hectares domaine includes the 2.2 ha Pommard Les Perrieres vineyard which was originally planted in 1902, a superb array of old vines Pommard 1er Cru vineyards including 0.09 ha Les Rugien Bas, 0.59 ha Les Chaponnieres and 0.17 ha Clos Blanc, and two exceptional holdings of Grand Cru vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin: an 0.17 ha of Latricieres Chambertin (located next to Pierre Duroche’s vines), and an 0.16 ha holding of Chambertin located next to the vines of no other but Lalou Bize- Leroy.
The estate is now run by Xavier, who served in the French air force as fighter jet pilot, who was determined to follow his beloved grandfather’s wishes, his passion and his dreams to revive the Domaine and make wine from his family’s vineyards." - Real Wines
