Tasting notes
Waxy sweet black fruits, roasting spices, and black pepper can be found in the nose of the 2002 Pommard Les Vignots. This lush, candied, satin-textured wine is medium to full-bodied and packed with concentrated layers of fruit. Its ripe tannin is present, providing outstanding structure to this opulent effort. Projected maturity: 2006-2015. Note: This estate’s 2002s are not yet released. The above estimate is based on the prices of the 2001s, taking into account that the dollar has significantly dropped.

(this and the following wines were tasted at Domaine Leroy) Excellent red-ruby color. Very ripe, musky aromas of black cherry, minerals and licorice, with tarry and medicinal nuances. Fat and full, with an almost liqueur-like sweetness along with a repeating medicinal note. Very solid wine that should show more detail with a few years in bottle. Finishes with substantial tannins and a hint of dryness.
