Denis Pommier

Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy

Domaine Denis Pommier is a small estate based in the village of Poinchy just west of Chablis. In 1990 Denis Pommier inherited from his grandfather, 2.5 hectares of established vineyards in Chablis AC, and 1er cru Beauroy and Fourchaume. Denis also acquired small parcels of land from his aunt in Petit Chablis and Chablis AC and has added an excellent holding of old vines 1er cru Cote de Lechet. The domaine now covers 13 hectares where Denis, and his wife Isabelle, make wonderfully pure Chablis as well as a tiny amount of Pinot Noir Bourgogne rouge from very low yielding vines more than 50 years old. His wines right across the range show great purity and offer remarkable value. This Chardonnay is made from 25 and 55 years old vines, matured 2/3rd’s in tank and 1/3rd in barrel (none new). Lavender and lemon rind on the nose, good palate weight, rich and expressive.
