Wine from Pommard

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 94 points: (92-94 points) There are two plots, purchased in 2009, one in the upper part of the vineyard and one below, next to de Montille. Interestingly this is clearly finer in style than the Grands Epenots, fresher, with better...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 93 points: (90-93 points) From vines planted between 1950 and 1989. Darker dense purple, this has much weightier dark fruit than the straight Epenots, but in comparison it seems a bit rustic with some chocolate notes, and the...

Decanter, 94 points: Always picked early at De Montille because it sits against the heat-reflecting wall on the north side of Les Grands Epenots. This is another impressive Pommard from Brian Sieve and his team: floral, textured and...

Decanter, 95 points: When people think of a classic Pommard, they invariably point to Les Rugiens-Bas, widely regarded as the village's Grand Cru in waiting. This is a structured, savoury, typically ferrous expression of the terroir that sees...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Initial aromas of earth and garlic blow off on the palate, but there are black cherry, black currant, violet and sandalwood notes that build to a long finish. Ripe and well-oaked, yet balanced and expressive. This red is...

Vinous, 92 points: The 2016 Pommard Les Jarollières 1er Cru has a clean and pure bouquet with black cherries, raspberry coulis and light cassis scents. The oak here is evident but nicely proportioned against the fruit. The palate is...

Burghound, 90 points: (87-90) Light reduction masks the underlying fruit but not the earth character that can also be discerned on the bigger and more intense flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the rustic, firm and serious finish that...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (91-93+ points) The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens reveals an incipiently complex bouquet of cherries, red berries, licorice, espresso roast and forest floor. It has a medium to full-bodied and ripe but succulent palate...

Decanter, 96 points: One of the best Côte de Beaune reds of the vintage. The four blocks that make up the blend of this justly celebrated Pommard Premier Cru red amount to 5.23ha and range in age between 36 and 100 years' old. Aged in one...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 93 points: (91-93 points) 60 barrels instead of 100 from this vineyard which has just been sold, so Jadot may not get the fruit in future. Good even medium dark red to purple colour, the nose is less boisterous than the Volnay...

Burghound, 93 points: (90-93 points) Here the pretty nose is fresher still with its layered mix of red and dark raspberry scents that are cut with plenty of earth influence. The rich and caressing but attractively punchy middle weight flavors...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Intense aromas of wild cherry and strawberry mark this supple red. Hints of flowers and Eastern spices augment the fruit that plays out on the vibrant finish. Best from 2021 through 2035. 411 cases made, 70 cases...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, 95 points: (93-95 points) Clear bright medium deep red purple. This has sheer class written all over it. Half whole cluster, entirely in the old vines and a third in the young. Sweetly ripe damson fruit with a velvet texture. Really...

Vinous, 90 points: Loïc Dugat-Py remarks that this vineyard is always the first to be picked but the last to be pressed. From vines located just outside Château de Pommard, the 2017 Pommard La Levrière Vieilles Vignes has a generous bouquet...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Another very impressive 2016 that lives up to the reputation of this famous producer. The firm structure that’s typical for the appellation is married with great, black cherries. There is also enormous energy driving the...
