Les Pezerolles

No stems were included in Les Pézerolles which shows a fine, bright purple colour. Really clear, pure, red fruit, with plenty of volume, this is a gentler style of Pommard, with no discernible tannins, good fruit and harmonious all the way through.

Étienne de Montille began picking whites on 10th and reds on 13th September, relatively early. Despite the hail (worst in Pommard than Beaune, Volnay less) yields were slightly improved compared to 2013. The fruit was clean with small berries, and beautiful clusters, so they were able to continue with their usual programme of whole-bunch vinification in most instances. The details are given for each wine. They will be long lived wines.

Very dense dark purple in colour, while the nose is remarkably intense but backward before the fruit swells majestically on the palate. One third whole cluster vinification provides a bit of spice at the back to alleviate the classically Pommard tannins. A keeper.

Pezerolles was hit by the hail and as a result there is only 20% of the normal volume in 2013. The hail has reduced the yield drastically, but it has not afftected the quanilty of the berries that did make it to harvest time. This is graceful for a Pommard, with wild strawberry combining beautifully with darker plum character. The structure is well covered by the fruit, but make no mistake, like every good Pommard, it is there and in time will provide the backbone this wine needs.

This has a beautifully enticing mix of strawberry and raspberry notes along with a touch of violets and similar succulent red fruit on the palate. Exceptionally stylish for Pommard, this is a great result for the domaine.
