Château de Pommard

Château de Pommard is a winery in Pommard, Burgundy, France. Established in 1726, the property is known for its two Châteaux, gardens, and its 20 hectare walled vineyard, Clos Marey-Monge. The Châteaux, the vineyard and the winemaking facilities are operated and owned by the Carabello-Baum family who purchased the estate in 2014. The winery produces “Clos” wines – Pinot Noir produced from the fruit of Clos Marey-Monge and “Family” wines – Grand Cru, Premier Cru, Village and Bourgogne wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir appellations across the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. In 2016, the estate tested biodynamic methods on 2.5 hectares of vines, and stated the intention of being entirely biodynamic for the 2019 vintage.

Château de Pommard's origins began in 1726 when Vivant Micault, a descendent of Philibert Micault, captain of Pommard in 1451, and secretary to King Louis XV, began constructing Château Micault, as it is known now, near the ruins of the 11th century fortress of Odo I, Duke of Burgundy. Château Micault, built from Chassagne-Montrachet pink limestone, was designed by Parisian architect, Charles-Étienne Brisseaux, in the Regency style of the era. After thirty years of ownership and expansion, in 1756, Vivant Micault bequeathed the Château and the vineyards to his two sons, Joseph Micault and Jean Micault. The brothers' auctioned the estate between them, leaving Joseph to become the sole owner, buying out Jean for the sum of 90,000 francs. Jean Micault was guillotined, for the then-crime of emigration, in the centre of Dijon, in 1794. In 1763, the “Royal estate of Pommard” was purchased by local wine merchant, Claude Marey.
