Profile

ポマールに本拠を置くドメーヌ・ド・クールセルは、この村の個性を象徴する5つのプルミエ・クリュを擁する歴史的な造り手である。主要な所有畑の一つであるレ・クロワ・ノワールは、村の南側に位置する小規模な区画で、上部のリュジアンから流れ込んだ鉄分豊かな赤粘土質土壌が、ワインに独特の性格を与えている。また、エプノにおいては、公式なモノポールではないものの、実質的に同家のみが生産する「グラン・クロ・デゼプノ」を所有する。この畑は、石の多い褐色の表土が40〜60センチメートルの深さで母岩を覆っており、力強さと気品を兼ね備えた極めて上質なポマールを生み出す。そのほか、リュジアンやフレミエといった名高い一級畑を保持し、この地のテロワールを精緻に表現している。

History

Domaine de Courcel is a Pommard estate with deep roots in the village. Pommard sits between Beaune and Volnay on the Côte de Beaune, producing Pinot Noirs known for structure and dark-fruit concentration — a character shaped by the heavy clay and limestone soils that distinguish the appellation. The de Courcel family has held vines here across multiple generations, and the domaine is among the addresses that serious collectors associate with classic Pommard.

Winemaking Approach

The estate works 5 Premier Cru parcels, all within Pommard. Rugiens — the commune's most storied climat — anchors the portfolio at 1.07 ha, supported by Fremiers (0.79 ha) and Croix Noires (0.58 ha). Detailed winemaking information is not widely published, but the domaine follows the traditional Burgundy model of parcel-by-parcel vinification.
