Château de Pommard

[3] Château Micault, built from Chassagne-Montrachet pink limestone, was designed by Parisian architect, Charles-Étienne Brisseaux, in the Regency style of the era.

Maurice Giraud transformed Château de Pommard into a 21st century wine tourist destination,[5][6] and employed the society of the craftsmen and artisans, the Compagnons du Tour de France,[7] to renovate the entire premises, as well as introducing the now-trademarked "Grand Vin" hand-blown "dumpy" bottle, based on an original mid-18th-century Pommard wine bottle, and, in 2010, the cuvée Simone, produced from the Simone terroir, which contains one of the highest clay densities in Burgundy.

[5][9][10] Each of Clos Marey-Monge's seven plots – Simone, Chantrerie, Les Paules, Grand Champ, 75 Rangs, Micault and Émilie – has its own soil type and microclimate.

[11] The south-east facing vines of the vineyard spans 20 hectares in surface area and is enclosed within a two-meter-tall and 2,000-meter-long stone fortress wall, erected in 1812 by Nicolas-Joseph Marey-Monge.

[13] Clos Marey-Monge today sits on an alluvial fan known as the Avant-Dheune Valley dejection cone, a geological structure that presents helpful conditions for the notoriously demanding Pinot Noir varietal to flourish.

Clos Marey-Monge was awarded première cuvée status in Professor Jules Lavalle's The History and Statistics of the Great Wines of the Côte d'Or, a comprehensive classification of the region's soils, first published in 1855.
