Tasting notes
A high point of the range is the 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Croix Noires, a terrific wine that unfurls in the glass with complex aromas of raspberries, plums, raw cocoa, sweet spices, licorice and grilled squab. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, it's deep and multidimensional, with melting tannins and lively acids, concluding with a long, expansive finish.

The 2019 Pommard Les Croix Noires 1er Cru has a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, commingling with light truffle aromas; fine delineation here. The palate is very sweet and candied, offering strawberry pastilles and orange pith. This is just missing a bit of structure and I cannot help feeling that it might have been picked a bit too late.
