Notes - Château de la Commaraine is a pretty 12th Century property on the outskirts of Pommard, whose cellars were once a private chapel. Immediately behind the property is the 4ha Clos de la Commaraine which is east facing with deep, well drained soils over underground springs. This is a monopoly of Louis Jadot. This premier cru is vinified in vats (the grapes are destemmed) for 3-4 weeks in order to obtain the real expression of the soil. It is then aged for 15–18 months in oak barrels.The wine is typical of the village, being masculine, deep and tannic. A wine that needs food and bottle age, but is frequently hugely rewarding. The nose is quite chocolatey with dried fruit notes which lead onto the palate which is long and lingering. It is ideal with red and spicy meats, game and most cheeses. The best time to drink this wine is when it is 5 years old but it is recommended to wait until it is 10 to 15 years old to obtain good maturity.
