Tasting notes
Opening in the glass with scents of raspberries, cassis and forest floor, framed by a deft touch of oak, the 2018 Pommard Les Petits Noizons is medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with a lively core of fruit and powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish. Still a little shy after its recent bottling, this has turned out nicely.

The 2018 Pommard Les Petits Noizons includes 25% whole-bunch fruit this year. Primarily red berry fruit on the nose, which opens nicely in the glass, subtle menthol aromas developing with aeration. The palate is sweet and quite candied on the entry, to the extent that it is quite Volnay in style, and fleshy and rounded toward the simply, easygoing finish. Fine.
