Chateau de Pommard...(18/11)

After having a tour in the Bourgogne region, I realise that Pommard is actually one of the origins that produce nice wine. Chateau de Pommard should be the most famous domaine in the region...Having a history since 1098, the Chateau was once upon a time a destination for Louis XV. The Chateau turned into a wine domaine in 1726, and it has then become a significant wine maker in the region with its 20-hectare grapeyard. The Chateau has purchased by one of the fifth richest French and is now negotiating with a Hong Kong importer to introduce its wine to the wine tasters in Hong Kong. The Chateau has kept vintages since 1962, and inevitably, you would not be able to resist from buying one for the collection of your home...
