Domaine de la Commaraine
Behind the walls of Pommard in Burgundy, Domaine de la Commaraine guards a rare jewel: a 3.63‑hectare Premier Cru Clos in monopole, wrapped around an old château and its gardens.
The stones remember 1112, when a first fortress rose here, and the centuries that followed. In 1787, Thomas Jefferson counted the Clos among his Burgundy favourites—proof that this vineyard’s reputation long predates modern fashion. Since 2017, new owners have invested in restoration and a renewed, vineyard‑first ambition.
That ambition starts with geology: deep soil studies and pit‑digging mapped the Clos and led to eight sub‑plots, harvested and raised separately. Pinot Noir is shaped through measured extraction and élevage in barrel, aiming for clarity of climat rather than gloss. The estate shifted into organic farming from 2017, with certification from the 2021 vintage, and a biodynamic conversion underway—an old name, sharpened by contemporary precision.Domaine de la Commaraine
