Chateau de Pommard
Our philosophy is to always maintain a hands-off approach and allow nature to remain in control; we entrust the vintage to do the talking, not the winemaker or the business. The seven distinct, but complementary, terroir of Clos Marey-Monge are each hand-harvested, fermented, and aged separately, following a vinification process that employs as little human interference, or influence, as possible. It is only at the last possible moment that we step in and create a balanced blend of the seven terroir. Listening to the vintage’s peculiarities and requirements allows us to use our experience and intuition to select just the right percentages and proportions for the blend. Nothing else. The result is a vintage that always reflects the best of the land and Mother Nature, but is created with our signature style which emphasizes elegance, complexity and length. Scientists call it chemistry, we call it winemaking.
In our constantly connected and distracted society, wine remains one of our most important and long-lasting relationships with the earth. As stewards of these exceptional terroir, a terrain of a timeless, ageless, beauty, we are aware of the obligations accompanying this responsibility. We take them very seriously. Our goal is to always work in harmony with the laws of nature. Ecological awareness and protection of the planet is all of our responsibility. Embracing sustainability and biodynamics is not just about making delightfully nuanced wines – that’s a bonus – it’s about making a connection with our planet that represents the best of who we are and resonates with who we aspire to be. We know that in the end, our commitment to these practices and our respect for the land will make it possible for us to leave this place better than we found it. Not just for now, but for the generations to come.
