Tasting notes
The 2013 Pommard Combes-Dessus comes across as a touch angular and compact in this vintage, a year in which the challenging conditions are impossible to escape. Hints of dark red cherry, plum and spice struggle to emerge, but the 2013 remains on the austere side relative to prior editions.

Light crimson. Broad and mulchy on the nose. Very fresh and lively. Racy and with really grainy texture. Leave for a long time in your cellar... Lots of acidity on the finish still. (JR)
The 2013 Pommard 1er Cru Combes Dessus, which comes from a 0.38-hectare parcel, has a light crushed-strawberry and Morello-scented bouquet. The palate is simple but balanced, with a nice line of acidity and good structure, if missing just a little complexity on the foursquare finish.
