"This Pommard leaves a lasting impression on both the mind and the palate—a dense, distinguished Pinot Noir that showcases the character of the Burgundian terroir!"

“A delicious Pommard with aromas of tart cherries, strawberries, bark, cloves, and dark chocolate. Both rich and tart, with a medium- to full-bodied profile, fleshy tannins, and a spicy, toasty finish. Ready to drink now or for aging.” (James Suckling 2024)

Regions

The vineyard extends over ancient, well-drained alluvial soils where the concentration of iron oxides gives the soil its reddish hue; the limestone bedrock lies close to the surface, and the presence of marl makes this plot an exceptional terroir for Pinot; the vines are over 60 years old.

Viticulture

Traditional and refined

Grape Harvest

Manuals

Wine Production

The process begins with the harvest, with no yeast added; it involves short maceration and moderate punching down. After about 3 weeks, the grapes are pressed, and the juice is transferred by gravity into oak barrels.

Livestock Farming

Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels

Alcohol content

13,5%

Eye

Deep red dress

Nose

Very expressive, with an aromatic profile of very ripe red fruits supported by light, well-integrated oak

Palate

The tannic structure is firm, but this wine remains rich and full-bodied thanks to its density

Rated estate (2021 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This small estate comprises 8 hectares of vineyards, spread between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune. Founded in 2009 by Olivier Decelle and Pierre-Jean Villa, it has been managed from the outset by Jean Lupatelli, a talented individual who oversees vineyard management and winemaking with great insight. The estate rounds out its lineup with a few supplemental purchases totaling the equivalent of two hectares, sourced from historic appellations that have been part of the brand since its inception, with grapes harvested by the estate’s own teams. The 2018 reds are soft, charming, and richly fruity and floral, clearly reflecting their origins.

Rated Estate: Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Founded in 2009 by two partners from outside Burgundy —Pierre-Jean Villa (northern Rhône Valley) and Olivier Decelle (Mas Amiel in Roussillon, Jean Faure, Haut-Ballet, and Haut-Maurac in the Bordeaux region), supported by their winemaker Jean Lupatelli—this Nuit-Saint-Georges-based company (wine merchant and estate) has now established a solid foothold in Burgundy.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Founded in 2009 by two leading figures in the wine world, Olivier Decelle (Mas Amiel in Roussillon and Jean Faure in Saint-Émilion) and Pierre-Jean Villa, a winemaker in the northern Rhône Valley, this estate stopped purchasing grapes in 2017. Previously known as Decelle-Villa, it became Decelle et Fils in 2020. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, it relies on organically farmed vineyards it owns on the Côtes de Beaune and Côtes de Nuits. The skilled winemaker Jean Lupatelli crafted wines of excellent quality here, using 20 to 50 percent whole clusters in the reds, but he recently left the estate in the spring of 2021.
