Food and wine pairings and tasting tips for Pommard red wines

Pommard red wines pair especially well with red meats and game. Dishes in sauce such as wild boar stew or coq au vin are particularly recommended. It is advised to serve them at a temperature between 14 and 15°C, and to open them 2 to 4 hours before serving, depending on the vintage. We particularly recommend JABOULET VERCHERRE Clos de Commaraine 1978, COMTE ARMAND Clos des Epeneaux 1996 and DOMAINE COCHE DURY Les Vaumuriens 2007.
