"Slightly lighter in colour, while the soft strawberry fruit is much more expansive. The oak shows a little. Not the densest of Pommards but one with an attactive fruit profile. Perhaps a little shorter at the finish but with finesse. The wines date back to 1901 and 1925. 91-93 Points. Drink from 2030-2036." Tasted October 2023. - Jasper Morris

Medium to full-bodied, lively and structured, with a concentrated fruit core, powdery tannins, and a saline finish, it is built for cellaring." - 91-93 Points, Wine Advocate, Robert Parker (January 2025)
"Beautiful light red robe and a nose offering a fine blend of red fruit aromas with hints of oak. On the palate, the wine is described as young, dense, tannic, and still tightly wound, indicating a high-level structure built for aging. Patience is recommended. 93/100 Gilbert & Gaillard.

Cellaring: Drink now or cellar until 2026-2037
Domaine Rebourgeon-Mure
Pommard, Burgundy
David Rebourgeon now directs this eight-hectare Pommard domaine that continues to fly somewhat under the radar. It is one of the oldest estates in Pommard, started by his ancestor Jean Bourgogne in 1552 who had taken a 99 year lease to raise vines at the holy abbey, Marguerite of Bouillard.
From the heart of Pommard, the Rebourgeons tend 18 acres divided between many well regarded holdings in the appellations of Beaune, Volnay and Pommard, planted entirely in Pinot Noir and averaging more than 40 years with the oldest parcels of Pommard planted in 1902.
Plowed soils and minimal chemical treatments are the order of the day in the vineyards; in the cuverie and cellars, the grapes are entirely destemmed, with a classical maceration emphasizing gentle extraction. Élevage lasts for 14-18 months in modest percentages of new oak. The result is elegant and beautifully balanced wines that display excellent textural finesse and which might justly be described as understated—even slightly old-fashioned—in style. This is an address that will delight Burgundy purists and which also happens to offer keen value.
For centuries Pommard has been considered the typical Bourgogne: deep red in colour, powerfully aromatic, solid and trustworthy. The very name Pommard has a generous ring to it and fills the mouth as it fills the glass. Pommard with its smiling vineyards lies between Beaune and Volnay where the Côte de Beaune makes a slight turn towards Autun. These lands formerly belonged to the Dukes of Bourgogne, to religious houses including the abbey of Cîteaux, or to old families such as the Marey-Monge family. As early as the Middle Ages, Pommard was thought of as the flower of Bourgogne wines - the wine to which all others were compared. The appellation, one of the first AOC to be so designated (1936), grows only red wines from the Pinot Noir grape.
