Alcohol: 13.0 %
Grape(s): 100 % Pinot Noir
Location: Pommard Premier Cru, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Tasting Notes: Deep ruby color. The nose is classic Pommard, with ripe red and black cherry, plum, earth, underbrush, and spice, framed by a firm mineral edge. On the palate, it is structured and concentrated, with fine but definite tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, savory finish that should be more open and layered with age.
Notes: Les Charmots is a well-regarded Premier Cru site in Pommard, known for producing wines with power and depth. The 2005 vintage is generally considered strong in Burgundy, and bottles from this site are typically built for aging. A 2005 Gabriel Billard example listed in trade sources is shown at 13 % alcohol and classified as a classic, food-friendly wine.
Food Pairing: Roast duck, beef bourguignon, venison, grilled lamb, or mushroom dishes.
Winery Story: Gabriel Billard is a traditional Pommard label associated with classic Côte de Beaune reds. The wines reflect the village’s more structured style, with Les Charmots offering a balance of depth, firmness, and age-worthiness.
