Pommard wine

The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Pommard is only used for red wine with Pinot noir as the main grape variety.

[1] In 2008, there were 321.69 hectares (794.9 acres) of vineyard surface in production for Pommard wine at village and Premier Cru level, and 12,892 hectoliter of wine was produced, corresponding to just over 1.7 million bottles.

[2] The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 per cent total of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris as accessory grapes in the red wines,[1] but this is not very often practiced.

There are 27 climats within the Pommard AOC that are classified as Premier Cru vineyards, which stretch in a wide band through the commune, located on both sides of the village itself and west (uphill) from the D973 road.

The annual production of Premier Cru wine, as a five-year average, is 4,276 hectoliter.
