Fanny Sabre
Vielles Vignes Pommard Pinot Noir
Pommard, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Lively, medium-bodied Pinot Noir by one of Burgundy’s leading natural wine producers, Fanny Sabre, a tiny estate of 4.5 hectares of vineyards scattered throughout some of Côte de Beaune’s great appellations, Pommard, Volnay and Meursault. This particular one comes from a plot with old vines in Pommard, an appellation known for its full, rich and concentrated Pinot Noir (perhaps due to the iron-rich soils). Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels. Quite perfumed, straightforward nose with ripe red fruit, underbrush/balsamic notes. Fruity, somewhat earthy and velvety.
