The 2022 Pommard Les Chanlins reveals aromas of smoky berries, spices, petals and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, sweet and layered, with powdery tannins and creditable length on the finish, it's produced from young vines from this recently replanted parcel.
A long popular appellation, Pommard is yet another exclusive red wine area which produces by far the most structured reds of the Côte de Beaune. It extracts rich body and long ageing potential from the limestone/iron-rich clay soil. Some examples can be markedly rustic, yet as time has passed and winemaking know-how has improved, Pommard's wines are becoming softer and more approachable when young. Its vines cover 317 hectares of which over a third are premier cru vineyards. Several have pronounced following and even one, Les Rugiens, is being pushed to become a grand cru.
