Tasting notes
The 2021 Pommard 1er Cru Les Croix Noires is terrific, bursting with aromas of wild plums, dark berries, warm spices and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with an almost unctuous core of fruit that reflects the low yields of the vintage, underpinned by sweet, powdery tannins, it's built for the long haul.

The 2017 Pommard Les Croix Noires 1er Cru has a pretty, quite mineral-driven bouquet with hints of wild heather and pressed flowers tincturing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, perhaps just missing a little complexity toward the second half, although there is good length. I just want more terroir to come through once in bottle.
The insider's choice chez Boillot is the 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Croix Noires, a delightful wine that reveals aromas of cherries, grilled meats, licorice and rich soil. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with good depth and dimension, juicy acids and a pleasing sense of completeness.
