The 2009 Pommard Les Jarolieres saturates the palate with its round ripe fruit. This shows lovely depth and richness then turns quite a bit more powerful and tannic on the finish. Sweet menthol and crushed rocks wrap around the close. Les Jarolieres is on the border with Volnay. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2039. --- Antonio Galloni

A completely different fruit profile is present here as the red currant earth and wet stone aromas are followed by rich full and naturally sweet mineral-driven flavors possess excellent mid-palate density and outstanding precision and length on the palate staining finish. I very much like the sense of underlying tension though fans of this wine should note that plenty of patience will be required.
