TASTING NOTES

The attack is frank, structured with velvet tannins. The mouth develops wild fruits, roasted coffee and vanilla aromas.
A toasted and smoky finish leads to an expressive and fine length.
Chateau de Pommard Clos Marey – Monge “Micault” 2019
A pure expression of a minimally oaked Pinot Noir, Micault 2019 displays a deep ruby color. This refreshing and elegant wine features the aroma of red fruit, rose and peony, with a hint of spice. On the palate, the tannins are ethereal and lacy. Micault 2019 explodes in the mouth with its jubilant juicy red fruit profile. Enjoyable today, this Pommard will evolve gracefully over the next 10 years.

Chateau de Pommard Maranges Premier Cru “Le Clos Des Loyères” 2020
Hand-harvested grapes, hand-sorted on a vibrating table. 50% whole-cluster, placed into stainless steel fermentation vats by gravity flow. Weeks-long maceration, minimal pumping-over and punching-down. Pressing in pneumatic press. Placed in French oak barrels for aging on fine lees. Light filtration before bottling.
Underneath its dark color, this Pinot Noir explodes with aromas of elderberry, rose, and peony, nuanced by subtle smoky notes. The same flavors on the palate highlight the personality of this elegant and perfectly balanced wine. The tannins are silky and the oak is well integrated. The finish, long and full, confers an unusual airiness to this wine.
Production: 2,700 bottles
