Patience required

My visit to these historic cellars earlier in the year was an eye-opening experience

This is a Bâtard of finesse and understated rather than overt muscle and imposing size and weight

I prefer the aromatics of the 2005

Long and luscious

Vougeraie, Pommard Petits Noizons other_regions_italy Patience requiredA ripe, fresh and expressive nose freely offers up its combination of black cherry, earth, anise and floral top notes. Here too the vibrant and attractively textured flavors are not especially concentrated though they do display slightly more minerality on the dusty, youthfully austere and balanced finale. This is a refined Pommard but a Pommard nonetheless so at least some patience will be necessary.
