The estate and the wine |
|
|
Blessed with some of the finest plots in the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Philippe Germain works quietly behind the scenes. Fame holds no appeal here—this craftsman even turns down requests from top restaurants to keep his wines reserved for loyal private clients and a lucky few insiders.
This exemplary—and slightly rebellious—estate produces cuvées in the shadows that rival Burgundy’s most celebrated names. And today, they’re opening their doors to us in a rare gesture. |

Grown on a cool terroir that extends from the Premier Cru Les Epenots, the 2023 Pommard La Chanière Red is a Pinot Noir of remarkable subtlety—Burgundy to its core. Its delicate aromas of morello cherry and wild raspberry flow into a juicy, refined palate with an elegant, almost weightless style. This isn’t about power or sheer concentration—it’s all about finesse and nuance. A wine tailor-made for purists who appreciate Pinot at its most graceful. |
