Domaine du Comte Armand ★ 4.7

Pommard estate and sole owner of the Clos des Epeneaux monopole since 1828, farming biodynamically. A structured, long-lived Premier Cru that flies below the Cote de Nuits radar.

Tip: The Clos des Epeneaux is a true monopole; ask about the old-vine versus young-vine components that go into the final blend each year.

Chateau de Pommard (Clos Marey-Monge) ★ 4.5

Chateau de Pommard farms its monopole Clos Marey-Monge in 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.

Domaine du Comte Armand ★ 4.6

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.
