Clos du Moulin aux Moines
Clos Orgelot-Monopole Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Please ignore the mold on the label. Or, alternatively treasure it. As I do. Decided I wanted something nice to drink with dinner tonight, and this fit the bill nicely. Aromas of pine duff and dried apples give way to dried sour cherry, cedar, dried flowers and thyme. Beautifully silky and fantastic acid balance

Jan 27th, 2022Wonderful Pommard - crunchy acid has melded with damp earth notes and stewed red fruits. Outstanding.

Oct 20th, 2019I've had a few wonderful meals at Leuca in Williamsburg recently because the in-laws spent a few weeks staying at the (very chic) hotel that houses the restaurant.
We had intended to go to a nearby French restaurant but our reservation was messed up so we retreated to reliable Leuca. I brought along this Pommard (thinking about the anticipated cuisine) and it was delicious. Bright cherries underpinned by an earthiness and a lavender lift. It has considerable depth and at eight years old is drinking beautifully right now.

Fruity on the outset. Real depth and many years ahead. Muscle and nuanced spice. Intrigued with producer
