Château de Pommard
シャトー・ド・ポマール
Owner of Clos Marey-Monge — a 22-hectare Demeter-certified biodynamic monopole, the largest single-walled estate in Burgundy; combines historic grandeur with modern wine tourism.
Château de Pommard is Burgundy's most visually striking estate: a grand 18th-century château surrounded by a single 22-hectare walled vineyard — the Clos Marey-Monge monopole — one of the largest single walled estates in Burgundy. The château was acquired in 2014 by Michael Baum, a California tech entrepreneur, who invested heavily in the property, converting it to biodynamic farming (Demeter certified) and opening it as Burgundy's premier wine tourism destination. The Clos Marey-Monge spans the full range of Pommard's terroir from village to Premier Cru quality within a single wall.
