Tasting notes
(completely destemmed; aged in 25% new oak): Deep, healthy saturated red; clearer than the last few samples. Pure but subdued aromas of red cherry, spices and flowers. A step up in texture and depth over the Beaune and Volnay wines, showing black cherry and dark plum fruit accented by a positive peppery quality. There's more stuffing here to buffer the wine's serious tannins. Finishes juicy and long, with lovely lingering perfume.

The 2014 Pommard 1er Cru les Pezerolles is completely destemmed. It has plenty of blackberry and wild strawberry fruit on the nose, pure and more opulent than the Volnays. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity. There is good volume in the mouth with firm, slightly chalky tannin. It just stops a little abruptly on the finish, but it should fill out during the remainder of its élevage.
