2019 Pommard, Benoit Sordet
Pommard, Burgundy, France
Domaine Benoît Sordet is a historic, family-run estate located in Pommard, one of Burgundy’s most iconic Pinot Noir villages in the Côte de Beaune. With roots dating back to 1793, the domaine has been passed down through generations, and today it is guided by Benoît Sordet, who upholds the family’s deep commitment to traditional Burgundian craftsmanship. The estate’s vineyards include parcels in some of the region’s most sought-after terroirs, and its winemaking philosophy centres on expressing the purity and individuality of each site with minimal intervention and sustainable practices.
This 2019 Pommard is a true expression of this philosophy, refined, structured, and evocative of its origin. Sourced from old vines on clay-limestone soils, the wine was vinified traditionally and aged in French oak barrels to enhance its complexity while preserving varietal character.
In the glass, the nose is layered with classic aromas of wild cherry, redcurrant, and blackberry, mingling with subtle notes of earth, violet, and a whisper of spice. The palate is elegant yet firm, showcasing bright red fruit, fine tannins, and a mineral edge, hallmarks of the Pommard terroir. A touch of oak brings finesse and gentle structure, leading to a long, harmonious finish.
