Tasting notes
Bright, deep red. Deep aromas of red fruits, black cherry, menthol and brown spices, lifted by a floral element. Quite tight and imploded today, in a distinctly cool, medicinal style. Lacks charm today and finishes with rather ungiving tannins. Does this wine have enough ripeness of fruit to absorb the tannins? In any event, it's tough going today.

The 2013 Pommard 1er Cru les Pezerolles, which was hit by hail and 100% destemmed, is rather muted and subdued on the nose after the Volnay ‘13s. The palate is medium-bodied with rather hard tannins and missing some fruit in the middle (what you might describe as a “doughnut” Burgundy). It gathers a little momentum toward the austere finish, but I would drink this over the next four to six years.
