The 2023 Pommard Chanlins, which Laurent Lignier replanted in recent years, offers black fruit, hints of pine and light tertiary scents on the nose. The palate is cohesive, structured and medium-bodied with fine tannins and a lovely peppery finish. This is excellent. 89 - 91 points. Drink 2026 - 2036. Neal Martin, Vinous

Purchased 2009, replanted in two parts since, in 2013 and 2018. Fullish crimson red. Quite an elegant nose for Chanlins, the grapes have achieved ideal ripeness which contributes to the gloss. Stricter behind, medium length from these young vines. Drink from 2030-2036. 90-92 points. 4 / 5 Stars. Jasper Morris.
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.
