Pommard have an intense colour (red-black) and are robust, warm and full-bodied, with great cellaring capacity. The wines from the northern part of the appellation tend to be softer than those from the south. Acidity is in the foreground, coupled with a certain amount of astringency. Pommard are firm and feature among the most tannic wines Burgundy has to offer. They have an intense bouquet with blackcurrant, musk, game, raspberry, bilberry and gingerbread. On the palate, notes of vanilla and liquorice are present. They can be served with game and mature, distinctive cheeses.
