    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Génot Boulanger, Pommard, Vieilles Vignes, 2018

    Being a genuine old vines cuvee, half of which were planted in the 1950s, this offers incredible class and depth for a village level wine. A blend of three single vineyards, this is a cuvee strongly influenced by limestone soils - evidence by is refined, streamlined and slightly chalky fruit profile. An elegant, Volnay-esque Pommard.

    The 2019 Pommard Vieilles Vignes is a blend of Les Cras, Les Vignots and La Chanière. It has a well-defined and quite earthy bouquet of red berry fruit. The palate is well balanced with crunchy red berry fruit laced with a splash of balsamic. The parcels ripened at different times due to variations in microclimates, and that engenders a more complex Pommard. Fine salinity toward the finish, and a minerally aftertaste. Very fine.
