Includes a younger plot from the Chateau de Puligny plus recent replanting. One third whole cluster. This cuvee reflects hillside limestone rather than heavier soils. Dense mid purple, some lifted aromatics but over a more solid base. Middleweight fruit, typical of this cuvee, not really the full density of Pommard, some tannins behind but not too aggressive. Fair length.
Vinous: Stephen Tanzer
(from the north side of Pommard above Les Grands Epenots on active limestone soil; vinified with one-third whole clusters and aged in one-third new oak): Good dark red. Tight aromas of black cherry, redcurrant and rust (there's a bit of iron in the soil here as well), lifted by a floral quality. Savory and fine-grained, with red berry flavors enlivened by saline minerality. Not a big wine but offers an attractive blend of sweet, savory and acidic elements. This minerally, salty wine finishes with big, mouth-dusting tannins.
