Decelle & Fils - Pommard 2020

Pinot Noir

glutton

This large village in the Côte de Beaune region is unique in that it produces only red wines. Renowned since the early days of winegrowing in Burgundy, Pommard was already referred to in the Middle Ages as "the flower of Beaune wines." A renowned cru from the Côte de Beaune, this superb red has a firm tannic structure but remains delicious thanks to its density. A great Burgundy terroir. • Please note, quantities are limited.• Please note: limited quantities available.

Domaine Decelle & Fils

Vintage

2020

Designation

Pommard

Region

Burgundy

Grape varieties

100% Pinot Noir

Terroirs

The vineyard extends over ancient, well-drained alluvial deposits where the concentration of iron oxides reddens the soil. The limestone bedrock, close to the surface, and the presence of marl make this plot a great terroir for Pinot.

Viticulture

Traditional and refined

Grape harvest

Manuals at optimal maturity

Wine making

The process begins with a meticulous harvest without the addition of yeast. Extraction is carefully measured and each decision to punch down the cap is weighed at length. After about three weeks, the wine is pressed and then transferred by gravity into oak barrels. It will spend two winters in our cellars with no intervention other than constant monitoring.

Livestock farming

Over a year in barrels

Alcohol content

13%

Eye

Deep red dress

Nose

Very expressive, aromatic palette of very ripe red fruits supported by light, well-integrated oak.

Rated estate (2021 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

This small estate is based on 8 hectares of vineyards, scattered between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune. Founded in 2009 by Olivier Decelle and Pierre-Jean Villa, it has been managed since its inception by Jean Lupatelli, a talented man who oversees the vineyard and winemaking with great insight. The estate completes its range with a few additional purchases covering the equivalent of two hectares, in historic appellations that have been monitored since the brand was created, and relying on vines harvested by the in-house teams. The 2018 reds are tender, charming, fruity and floral, clearly respecting their origins.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing good-quality wines; you won't be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Founded in 2009 by two leading figures in the wine world, Olivier Decelle (Mas Amiel in Roussillon and Jean Faure in Saint-Émilion) and Pierre-Jean Villa, a winemaker in the northern Rhône Valley, this estate stopped buying grapes in 2017. Previously named Decelle-Villa, it became Decelle et Fils in 2020. Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, it relies on its own organically grown vineyards on the slopes of Beaune and Nuits. The skilled technician Jean Lupatelli produced wines of excellent quality here, with 20 to 50% whole harvest in the reds, but he left the estate in the spring of 2021.
