Unfurling in the glass with aromas of red berries rose petals sweet soil tones and orange rind the 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles is medium to full-bodied ample and velvety with a fleshy core of fruit and a vibrant seamless profile concluding with a fragrant peony-inflected finish.
The vines are a mix of old and young with replantings now on stream. The old vines have been vinified as whole bunches around 40% overall. Medium depth of colour and a slightly darker fruit less sweetly sensual than the Grands
Here too there is a whiff of volatile acidity that plays at the edge of perceptibility on the mostly red berry fruit and spice infused nose. There is a lovely sense of refinement to the nicely rich and well-delineated flavors that exude a bracing salinity on the sneaky long firm and youthfully austere finale. While not technically perfect this is still really quite good.
vThe 2019 Pommard Les Pézerolles 1er Cru is much more backward on the nose compared to de Montille?s other Pommards offering brambly red berry fruit clove and bay leaf. The palate is beautifully balanced the 50% whole cluster contributing a light pepperiness but allowing the terroir to shine. Smooth on the finish. (Drink between 2023-2040)
