The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles amounts to fully three barrels this year—the largest crop since 1999. Whether it's the higher crop or the fact that the grapes were destemmed by hand, the wine is especially elegant this year, bursting with scents of rose petals, red berries, violets and sweet soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and succulent palate, displaying only delicate grip on the penetrating finish.

The 2018 Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Cru offers more black fruit than the Beaune Grèves. It is quite opulent in style but feels controlled and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and moderate weight in the mouth. The grainy-textured finish offers a touch of spice but is not quite as detailed as the Beaune Grèves at the moment. Three barrels produced.
