What it pairs with

With cheese

How to serve Pommard Village

Allow 65 minutes from open to pour.

  1. Open and decant. Open 60 minutes before serving and pour into a decanter to aerate.
  2. Serve at 14-16°C. Cellar temperature (14-16°C) is the band for this style. Warmer pushes alcohol forward; colder dampens aromatics.
  3. Glassware. Use a Burgundy bowl with a wide opening: the bowl shape rewards the wine's structure.
  4. Pair with. Roast venison with cassis jus, Boeuf bourguignon, Pate en croute lyonnais. Match the wine's structure to the dish's fat and salt.
