Tasting Notes by Vintage:
2015 – A Vintage of Power and Concentration
A warm, dry growing season resulted in a bold, structured wine with remarkable depth and intensity. The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru is rich and ripe, showcasing dark fruit flavors of black cherry and plum, laced with hints of licorice, spice, and earthy undertones. The firm tannins and deep concentration make this a standout vintage, ideal for long-term aging.
2016 – Classic Elegance and Finesse
After a challenging start with frost in spring, the season stabilized, producing a harmonious and refined wine. The 2016 vintage is more delicate and nuanced, with lifted red fruit notes of cranberry and red cherry, balanced by silky tannins and fresh acidity. Subtle hints of violets, black tea, and minerality add complexity, making it an elegant and poised expression of Pommard.
2017 – Approachable and Balanced
A more generous and early-drinking vintage, 2017 offers a beautiful balance of fruit and structure. Red berries, raspberry, and pomegranate lead the way, with floral and spice notes adding dimension. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, making this vintage particularly enjoyable in its youth, yet it still has the backbone for further cellaring.
2018 – A Ripe and Generous Expression
A warm and dry year led to a wine with ample fruit and plush texture. The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru is opulent and full-bodied, with layers of black cherry, cassis, and baking spices. The tannins are ripe and polished, providing structure without overshadowing the vibrant fruit core. This vintage offers early enjoyment but will also age gracefully.
2019 – Precision and Vibrancy
A nearly ideal vintage with cool nights and warm days resulted in a wine of exceptional purity and precision. The 2019 vintage showcases bright acidity, fine tannins, and impeccable balance. Red and black fruits, wild strawberry, and blueberry, are complemented by hints of graphite, earth, and subtle oak spice. This is a structured yet energetic vintage, promising a long and rewarding evolution.
2020 – Youthful Energy with a Promising Future
A small but high-quality vintage, 2020 Pommard 1er Cru is youthful and intense, with a firm tannic structure and vibrant acidity. The fruit is pure and fresh, dominated by redcurrant, cherry, and crushed herbs, with a subtle minerality and spice-laced finish. While still tight and evolving, this vintage will benefit from additional cellaring to unlock its full potential.
