Les Charmots Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Stunning. What an insane nose. Candied mid to late season cherries, insane spice and that classic stoney Pommard minerality. Unreal concentration but never heavy and so much depth. Waves of fruit crashing on limestone rocks. This is very very exciting wine. Only 595 bottles. Welp! Nose also has some super detailed sweet cocoa and just top top clarity. Wow that palate, those late breaking Pommard tannins and exquisitely formed fruit. This is something else. Let’s see how it performs with air. 9.6 now. Now the next day after 14+ hours open this is singing. Nose has a deep cherry perfume and wonderful spice and brooding Pommard minerals. Terrific aromatic complexity. Palate is just lights out with freshness, deep mid to late season cherry and also some early season as well. Brooding but suave stony Pommard minerality and gorgeous complexity and depth. Exquisite juiciness and balance. Long finish and so well made. Lingers forever.

Soaring nose. Gorgeous. Wow. Super high toned macerated cherries, glorious spice and minerality, amazing cotton candy, just an outrageous nose. Stoney and spicey and so so mineral. Just exuberant and insane pungent. Some smoke, game and leather as well. So transparent. Cherry flower, ripe midseason cherries. A 9.5 nose. Palate is incredible and sweet. Such thunderous and elegant fruit. Such flavor intensity. Wow. Just explodes on the palate with tiny berry fruit intensity. So so well made. This is incredible. Intensely sweet and concentrated but remains so so fine and so so elegant. This is so good. It has that sense of nobility that only the top Burg 1er Crus give. Such wonderful ripe tannins and exquisite energy and freshness. Top class.

Black cherry, spice, some whole cluster?, med body, med acid, round. A more modern style than I usually go for, but this worked 😍
