✨ Technical Specifications
Pommard Premier Cru 'Clos Micault' is a jewel within Albert Bichot's Domaine du Pavillon estate. Located on the lower slopes of the Pommard appellation, this unique climat features soils rich in clay and fine silt, resting on ancient alluvial deposits. Unlike the famously muscular and tannic reputation of typical Pommard wines, Clos Micault is celebrated for its surprising elegance, roundness, and silky texture. Historically, the 'Clos' designation refers to the stone walls that traditionally enclosed these prized vineyard plots, protecting the vines and defining their microclimates. Albert Bichot's traditional vinification, utilizing custom-toasted French oak barrels, coaxes out the delicate red fruit aromatics and subtle earthy undertones of this exceptional terroir, creating a refined expression of Burgundy that beautifully balances power and grace.
