justerini & brooks tasting note

As ever this is very fine boned Pommard with pale fleshed sweet berry fruit, fine minerals, sweet floral notes and a finish that’s redolent of sweet alpine strawberries. Fine is the word here, with neat length and plenty of delicate persistence and silky tannins that cover a core of cool creamy berry fruit. A veritable old vines cuvee split across three lieux dits - Cras, Vignot, Chagnieres - half of the parcels was planted in the 1950s, the rest in the 1980s.

critic reviews

89-91/100Neal Martin,Vinous

A blend of three lieux-dits, the 2022 Pommard Vieilles Vignes has a more backward nose compared to the Volnay Village, the fruit a little more tertiary-driven. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It’s an elegant Pommard with a harmonious red cherry and crushed strawberry finish and a pinch of white pepper on the aftertaste.
