Domaine de Montille Les Pezerolles Pommard 1er Cru 2021

Description

This wine’s ripe red and black fruit aromas accented with earth, mineral, and smoke are immediately appealing. Although there is some reduction on the nose, the wine is riper and more resolved than the village-level wine, with silky tannins, balanced acidity, and plenty of depth. The sandy soils bring a silky ripeness to the wine, yet there is enough substance to ensure it will last for decades. The domaine owns two parcels above Petits Epenots in the northern part of the appellation. Drinking window: 2027-2050. Score – 92. (Charles Curtis, MW, decanter.com, Jan. 26, 2023)
