2018 Pommard Clos Blanc 1er Cru

The 2018 Pommard Clos Blanc 1er Cru has an almost rambunctious nose with plenty of red and black fruit, truffle, a slight gunpowder element (remember those toy guns that you played with as a kid…that smell of the burning paper… gun caps). The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Neatly integrated oak, very focused, caressing with a lively, quite saline finish. Impressive persistence - there is a lot going on in this Pommard and it should mature with style and grace. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
