Tasting notes
The 2021 Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Cru offers light red fruit, used tea leaves and undergrowth on the nose that gradually unfolds in the glass. Fine delineation, though not powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, more black fruit here with tar and graphite notes. A little more worked in the winery and as such it is missing just a touch of noblesse and precision on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Cru contains 50% whole bunches this year. Dark berry fruit, briary and light sous-bois scents unfold on the nose - quintessentially Pommard. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy dark berry fruit, orange rind, bitter cherry and a touch of pain d'épices towards the finish. Lots of energy here - this Pommard looks destined to give 10-15 years of drinking pleasure. Very fine.
