France, Burgundy, Pommard Vintage: 2024 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot Alc: 13.5% by volume Bottle Size: 750ml Domaine Virely-Rougeot Pommard Premier Cru...
Domaine Virely-Rougeot Pommard Premier Cru Les Chanlins Bas 2024 comes from a small half-hectare parcel in one of Pommard’s recognized Premier Cru vineyards.
Red cherry, raspberry and ripe red plum lead the aromatic profile, followed by violet, subtle spice and an earthy mineral character. The palate is structured and concentrated, with fresh acidity and firm but fine tannins giving the wine the shape and longevity traditionally associated with Pommard.
Les Chanlins Bas sits on a complex mix of limestone, marl and alluvial soils, and this gives the wine both density and freshness. The style is less about immediate softness and more about structure, savory complexity and the ability to develop with bottle age.
This is a particularly interesting Burgundy for customers looking beyond the most famous domaines and wanting a genuine, estate-grown Premier Cru Pommard at a relatively approachable price.
Food Pairing: Pair with roast duck, lamb, beef tenderloin, game birds, mushroom dishes, coq au vin, or mature cheeses.
Serve around 58–62°F. If drinking young, decant for approximately 45 minutes.
