Pommard 1er Cru Les Chaponnieres

91-93 /100 Burghound: Outstanding Note: from 85+ year old vines; 50% whole clusters Tasting note: Moderate wood stops short of being invasive on the agreeably spicy and markedly floral nose of earth, leather and dark berries. There is excellent volume and richness to the delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess first-rate depth and persistence. This balanced effort is robust but not really rustic and is a wine that should amply repay extended cellaring yet be approachable after 6 to 8.92-94/100 Neal Martin Vinous: The 2020 Pommard Les Chaponnires 1er Cru comes a massal selection of 80-year-old vines with 45% whole bunch. This has a lovely bouquet with lavender-tinged red fruit and fine mineralit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm but supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and a very nicely proportioned vintage lifted by the whole bunch. Excellent.
