Pommard, Les Pezerolles, 1er Cru, 2018
A very successful Pezerolles indeed. Gorgeous aromatics burst from the glass. Juicy but elegant on the palate with notes of damson, bullace and a floral touch of rose petal wrapped in soft but binding, velvety tannins. A Volnaysien Pommard, nicely shaped and even keeled. Beautiful. A fine rocky limestone based Pommard, fermented with a third whole cluster and aged in 30% new oak.
critic reviews
The 2018 Pommard Pézerolles 1er Cru exhibits a ton of TCA. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles was showing especially well, bursting from the glass with scents of orange rind, peonies, wild berries and cinnamon that's quite marked by its whole-cluster component. Medium to full-bodied, succulent and supple, it's ripe and enveloping, with supple, powdery tannins cloaked in a fleshy core of fruit.
