September harvest day at biodynamic Chateau de Pommard, picking in the Clos Marey-Monge monopole, sorting grapes, tasting fermenting juices and sharing a casse-croute in the vines with the cellar team.
Immersive winemaking experience at Chateau de Pommard with winemaker Emmanuel Sala, exploring biodynamic technique and the Clos Marey-Monge terroir before tasting Pinot Noirs from different plots and vintages.
Chateau de Pommard farms its monopole Clos Marey-Monge in the heart of Pommard, certified organic since 2019 and Demeter biodynamic from the 2021 vintage. The walled clos is one of the largest single-owner vineyards on the Cote de Beaune.
Tip: The estate runs structured tastings and stays in Pommard village; ask for the Clos Marey-Monge monopole flight to taste the biodynamic clos plot by plot.
The sole owner of the Clos des Epeneaux monopole in Pommard has farmed organically with Ecocert certification since the mid-2000s and works the vineyard biodynamically, without holding a biodynamic certification label.
Tip: A textbook case for the certified-versus-practising distinction: Comte Armand is Ecocert organic and biodynamic in practice, but is not Demeter or Biodyvin certified.
