Benjamin Leroux Pommard 2019

Natural cork. With both this cuvée and the wonderful Rugiens-Hauts, Leroux is back in Pommard with a bang. The 2019 is a blend of Les Vaumuriens (high on the slope) and Les Cras (on the lower slope), both vineyards lying on the Volnay side of the village. Leroux notes the cooler, hillside fruit from Les Vaumuriens brings freshness and balance to the blend. This was crafted from 100% de-stemmed berries and raised with roughly 20% new oak.

Domaine J.F. Coche-Dury Hospices de Beaune Pommard 1er Cru "Les Epenots" Cuvée Dom Goblet 2018

Note: from a .71 ha parcel in Les Petits Epenots; Coche purchased 6 barrels

An attractively fresh nose is comprised by notes of both red and dark currant, earth and a whiff of oak. The medium weight flavors possess reasonably good underlying tension and complexity though the finish, while reasonably persistent, is slightly drying. There are aspects to admire but it would be fair to say that the balance isn't quite completely dialed in. In sum, this is good but … more

Domaine Louis Boillot & Fils Pommard 1er Cru Fremiers 2017

"There is a lovely perfumed quality to the very fresh red currant and newly turned earth scents where a trace of the sauvage creeps in. I very much like the texture of the medium-bodied and lightly stony flavors that possess very good mid-palate density where a mild hint of rusticity creeps in on the compact, linear and impressively persistent finish. This is definitely Pommard in character but a relatively refined one.". 90-93, Outstanding. Burghound Issue #73

Louis Jadot Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens 2017

"Once again the nose is dominated by wood and strong reduction. More interesting are the dense, punchy and very serious broad-shouldered flavors that brim with minerality on the grippy and very firmly structured finale. As an aside, it's curious how sometimes the first couple of vintages from young vines can drink like a wine from old vine fruit. Either way, this is very impressive." 91-93, Drink 2032+. Sweet Spot.
