We have a limited amount of the 1990 Pommard from Ampeau today, and it's a fantastic buy for red Burgundy from an outstanding vintage. Robert Ampeau has long been a go-to source for impeccably stored back-vintage wines, many of which have never left their original resting place in one of the coldest, most densely packed cellars in Burgundy. The domaine—based in Meursault and farming around 10 hectares—built its reputation on structured, long-lived wines released only when deemed ready, often decades after harvest. The 1990 vintage was warm and ripe, producing powerful yet balanced reds with real longevity, and this Pommard is a textbook example. Although Ampeau is primarily known for his white Burgundies, his reds are an insider's secret, prized for their elegance and earthy complexity. We recently tasted a bottle during our last visit to France, and it showed remarkable freshness, with a core of red fruits, sous-bois, mushrooms, and vibrant acidity. Sourced directly from the domaine's cellar and priced well below market for perfectly aged Burgundy, this is a rare chance to secure a mature Pommard from a legendary traditionalist, especially as Ampeau's sporadic releases make future availability uncertain.
