Winemaking in pommard first began to blossom when Benedictine monks planted Pinot Noir root stocks in 909, and it wasn’t long before Pommard emerged as one of the first villages in Burgundy to become renowned for fine Pinot Noir. Château de Pommard was founded in 1726 by Vivant Micault, who laid the foundation stone for this winemaking empire and built the first Château, made out of Chassagne-Montrachet pink limestone. The estate was then run by Famille Mary-Monge (Burgundy’s “Greatest Family”) from 1763-1936. In all 5 families have been at the helm, with Famille Carabello-Baum purchasing the estate in 2014. With exciting dreams for the future fast becoming reality, the fifth family of Château de Pommard are on a journey to realize the estate’s full potential and they can’t wait to share it with the world. With its array of celebrated sun-soaked vineyards and captivating sights, the village of Pommard is surrounded by ageless, timeless beauty. At its heart, is Château de Pommard. The estate’s walled Clos Marey-Monge is a 49 acre monopole and a UNESCO heritage protected Burgundy climat, cultivating century-old vines. The distinct, but complementary, terroirs are farmed biodynamically, with grapes from each site hand-harvested, naturally fermented, and aged separately, creating wines of complexity, power and grace.
