👉 Classic Pommard • Structured Burgundy • Elegant Power

The Domaine Bernard & Thierry Glantenay 2019 Pommard Les Riottes is a classic expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most structured and age-worthy villages. Produced by a four-generation family estate based in Volnay, this wine reflects both the tradition of Pommard and the domaine’s commitment to low-intervention, terroir-driven winemaking.

Sourced from the Les Riottes climat in Pommard, the wine benefits from well-drained clay-limestone soils with iron-rich components, contributing to both depth and structure. Pommard is historically known for powerful wines, yet modern viticulture and careful vinification have revealed a more refined style—combining intensity with elegance.

The 2019 vintage offers an expressive aromatic profile of blackberry, cassis, ripe plum, and cherry pit, complemented by notes of spice, earth, and subtle floral undertones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a firm yet polished tannic structure, balanced acidity, and a rich, mouth-filling texture. As it evolves, more complex notes of leather, cocoa, and pepper begin to emerge, showcasing the aging potential of the wine.

Crafted using hand-harvested fruit, indigenous yeast fermentation, and minimal intervention, the wine is aged without fining or filtration, preserving purity and site expression.

This is a serious yet approachable Pommard—a wine that delivers both immediate pleasure and the structure to develop further complexity over time.
