"From 3 separate parcels totaling 0.75 ha. As it almost always is chez Billard, this is the most elegant wine in the range with a pure and strikingly complex, if very backward, nose of pure red berry fruit, minerals and spice hints where the refinement carries over to the tautly muscular and powerful flavors that are underpinned by more sophisticated tannins and outstanding length. This is also terrific though it's worth pointing out that as good as it is, and it is exceptional, it's not necessarily any better than the Chaponnières."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Pommard is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with noted Premier Crus, producing dark, powerful and tannic Pinot Noir reds of firm structure and earthy depth built for aging.
2009 in Burgundy was warm and sunny, producing ripe, rich and generous reds of hedonistic charm and supple tannins; the whites are opulent but can lack acidity, making them best enjoyed relatively young.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
