About Château de Pommard:
Founded in 1726 by Vivant Micault, secretary to King Louis XV, Château de Pommard remains one of the most iconic and visited wine estates in Burgundy. Clos Marey-Monge, at the heart of the domain, has been producing one of the greatest expressions of Pinot Noir for more than two millennia. The 20-hectare clay and limestone rich terroir make it the largest and most interesting monopole vineyards in the Côte d’Or. In July 2015, UNESCO declared the Clos a world heritage protected climat of Burgundy.
The Carabello-Baum family of San Francisco purchased the domain in 2014 and became just the fifth family to guide the estate in almost 300 years. The family has transformed the estate into the ultimate wine education destination where
anyone can experience the phenomenon that is Burgundy.
About Burgundy wines:
Pommard, Ladoix, and Volnay — the gateway to Côte de Beaune is an indisputable land of Pinot Noir. With ideal soils and exposure to the sun, the distinct terroirs of the area proved to be a perfect fit for red wines. Yet, it is Chardonnay that first lent prestige to the vineyard. From the village of Meursault to the slopes of the Colline de Corton, Côte de Beaune is home to the grandest white wines. Seven Grands Crus take root in this 20 kilometers-long wine-growing region and even more lesser-known appellations that are worth the taste. With 24 Grands Crus divided in a 20 kilometers stretch of land, Côte de Nuits deserves its surname of Burgundy’s Champs-Elysées. Bonnes-Mares, Echezeaux, and Charmes-Chambertin are the perfect illustration of what this region does best when it comes to Pinot Noir.
About Megan Daily Flamant, your trusted wine advisor:
Originally from the United States, Megan began her professional career as a Chemical Engineer in a plastics factory outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. But the call of the surrounding vineyards on the Monticello Wine Trail was too strong to ignore, and she finally left plastics to seek out greener, leafier pastures. In 2004, she took the plunge and moved to France to follow her wine dream. Today, with over 15 years of experience in international wine commerce, including 12 living and working in Burgundy, she is delighted to return home and share her passion for wine with you. She will act as your guide while you explore the mosaic of Burgundy’s terroirs, delve into the rich history of Château de Pommard and experience the magic of their lovingly hand-crafted wines.
