This 1996 Pommard is sourced from the Les Vaumuriens lieu-dit, a vineyard situated on the high slopes near the Volnay border known for producing more elegant, stony Pinot Noir. Released only after decades of careful cellar aging by the Ampeau estate, it offers a complex profile of dried fruit, savory earth, and iron-like minerality backed by the vibrant acidity of a classic vintage. Let it open gently in your glass for 30-40 minutes for the wine to really start to show you what it is made of.
