Pommard, Clos de la Commaraine, Monopole, 1er Cru, 2018

The most tactile, silky Pommard we can ever remember tasting. There is great inner strength here, a core of serious, spicy plum and wild dark berry fruits, a complex note of cool earth, too, all of which is fused with satin-textured tannins. The flavours float slowly across the palate, expanding gradually as they go and eventually seducing and saturating the taste buds. A Pommard of both presence and nuance.
