Tasting notes
The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru les Pezerolles has quite a dense, rich bouquet with cassis-tinged red berry fruit, actually more like a Volnay in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite dense in the mouth again, saline and lightly spiced towards the finish that has good fleshiness and length. This is very fine.

(50% vendange entier ; one-third new oak): Bright red with ruby tones. Slightly cooler on the nose than the Volnays, offering scents of black cherry and menthol; not quite the same impression of skin ripeness here. (This wine was also made in a more reductive style and got a few extra pumpovers.) Densely packed and youthfully imploded, even a bit angular, offering reticent flavors of black cherry, spices and mint. A tougher, tighter, more saline style, dominated in the early going by its structure. This is usually a prettier, more delicate Pommard but not this year.
About the producer
Volnay’s Domaine de Montille is one of the most historic in the Côte d’Or. Founded in 1730, the property remains family-owned and run, with Etienne de Montille – the ninth generation – at the helm today.
