Pommard, Vieilles Vignes, 2024
justerini & brooks tasting note
Deep cherry notes edged with wild strawberry, silky tannins and a layer of minerality below the fruit that sends this sliding across the palate. Tender in structure and fruit, with a pleasing backbone of freshness and polished minerality. A veritable old-vines cuvée split across two lieux-dits - Cras, and Chanière - half of the parcels were planted in the 1950s, the rest in the 1980s.
critic reviews
Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2024 Pommard Vieilles Vignes is a blend of two lieux-dits and cropped at 14hl/ha. This has more delineation and mineralité compared to the Volnay, nicely focused with bright red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet red cherry and strawberry fruit, fine acidity, light and quite airy on the finish. Decent early drinking Pommard.
