RATINGS

91-93Vinous / IWC

...aromas of black cherry, redcurrant and rust... Savory and fine-grained, with red berry flavors enlivened by saline minerality...minerally, salty wine finishes with big, mouth-dusting tannins.

90-92The Wine Advocate

...raspberry, wild strawberry and a touch of Bing cherry. The palate is well balanced with fine and slightly chalky tannin.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Smells much prettier and more Volnay-like even though it is closer to Beaune...savoury almost charry flavour on the palate...refined and elegant Pommard.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Pommard, Les Pezerolles

Les Pezerolles is a 15-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Pommard appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. Since there are no Grand Crus in Pommard, the Premier Crus have special importance. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “Pommard at its best is the fullest wine made in the Cote de Beaune.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
