Tasting notes
Palish bright red. Musky red berries and underbrush on the fresh nose. Sweet-verging-on-creamy, in a distinctly feminine style, but still with the peppery definition of Pommard. Finishes with a saline element, a hint of spicecake and lovely floral lift. Tannins are dusty but sweet.

The 2013 Pommard, which comes from a single parcel in Clos Blanc, has a slightly conservative bouquet with touches of rose petal infusing the red fruit. The palate is sappy and bright on the entry, nicely balanced with good substance on the finish. It will need a year to mellow and coalesce after bottling.
