RATINGS

90-92Vinous / IWC

It feels more opaque, holding its cards close to its chest. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, quite dense in the mouth, and lightly spiced with touches of white pepper and clove toward the poised finish...

...mélange of red and dark currant, pungent earth, humus and pretty floral wisps. The racy and minerally middle weight flavors possess a lilting mid-palate...

Rich density of fruit plus acidity and tannins much riper than in most wines from this producer. Hint of rough red fruit as in tamarind. Interesting wine!

REGION

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

Les Arvelets is a 26-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.
