RATINGS

90-92The Wine Advocate

...very refined bouquet with great precision and transparency, scents of briary and sous-Bois, a touch of earl grey infusing the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannin, supremely well-judged acidity and a velvety smooth red cherry and strawberry finish that is already seductive.

90-92Stephen Tanzer

Reticent aromas of black cherry, menthol and wild herbs accented by pepper and spices. Densely packed and energetic, with dark berry and black cherry flavors complicated by a licorice note.

17Jancis Robinson

Firm, solid, sweet start and some candied cherries. Firm tannins.

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.
