MONOPOLE. Over the wall from Taillepieds.The 2023 Volnay Clos de Verseuil 1er Cru is one of the most mineral-driven cuvées from Clerget. This is very fragrant and detailed on the nose with hints of incense emerging slowly. The palate is medium-bodied with filigreed tannins. The stems impart a subtl...

A cool, restrained and airy nose offers up notes of red cherry, raspberry, earth and a whisper of spice, all of which is trimmed in more subtle wood influence. Once again the mouth feel of the vibrant middle weight flavours is sleek to the point of being polished while flashing excellent delineation...

From 85 to 90 year old vines with the corresponding low yields. Glorious imperial purple, with power to match. This is noble as well as with huge weight and there is a lively acidity to boot holding the ensemble together. Really gorgeous long finish. Plush raspberry. (5 stars) 93-95 Jasper Morris MW.

A gorgeous glowing purple. Heady but balanced and absolutely stunning. Paul Zinetti made up a trial blend using all four cuvées and the press wine, with 50% new wood. He will maybe keep the wine in barrel for a full two years. So completely mouth filling yet with perfect balance, the tannins are fu...

Fine intensity to the detailed and delicious medium-bodied flavours that are not super dense but they deliver very solid persistence on the balanced finish. 91 Burghound.

This is a powerful wine with lots of character. Quite spicy with white pepper and cherry fruit. Showing firm tannins at this time with a fine dry finish. Jo Charvill, May 2019.Attractively layered aromas are comprised by wisps of cherry, red raspberry, spice and more prominent earth nuances. There i...

A little more masculine, earthy, shy and firm than the other Pommards. Thierry said the old vines take longer to show themselves. Will come around! Jo Charvill, May 2019.A brooding and still very primary nose offers up liqueur-like notes of dark cherry, raspberry, anise and a hint of wood. There is ...

The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles opens in the glass with aromas of cherries, raspberries, spices and smoked meats, framed by a lavish application of cedary new oak. Medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, with good depth at the core, it's a little constricted by barrel-derived tannin at present. 89 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.Drinking Window: 2022 - 2040

A richer deeper purple, but looking good. There is a huge wealth of deep raspberry fruit on the palate, enough acidity, tannins only in the background, really impressive. Power in a good way, this has been made with a light enough hand. Elegant Pommard!91-94 Jasper Morris MW

We tasted the younger vines and the older vines separately, then the blend. The younger vines had a fine fresh medium deep raspberry fruit, with quite firm acidity, a limestone feel to the tannins, and a lightly ferrous touch. The old vines offered much more fruit on the nose, strawberry and raspber...

The 2021 Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Cru contains 50% whole bunches this year. Dark berry fruit, briary and light sous-bois scents unfold on the nose - quintessentially Pommard. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy dark berry fruit, orange rind, bitter cherry and a touch of pain d'épices towards...

The 2018 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru has a sensual bouquet with pure red berry fruit, rose petal, rosehip and light mineral scents. This is very seductive and the oak is very neatly enmeshed plus there is assiduous use of whole bunches. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fine salinity,...

Soft wood sets off a spicy array of plum, black cherry and a hint of humus. There is both good richness and vibrancy to the beautiful texture, caressing and sleek flavours that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the moderately compact, persistent and balanced finale. This needs better depth so a f...

The 2022 Pommard 1er Cru La Platière offers up aromas of peonies, cherries, blood orange and sweet spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy palate that's rich and youthfully structured, its powdery tannins asserting themselves on the discreetly firm finish. 90-92 William Kelle...

The 2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens is excellent, wafting from the glass with aromas of plums and raspberries mingled with exotic spices, orange zest and petals. Medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, its textural attack segues into an unctuous core of fruit, concluding with a long, expansive fin...

Offering up aromas of smoky berries mingled with notions of potpourri, orange zest and peony, the 2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots is medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, with lively acids, beautifully refined tannins and a floral finish. 92-93 William Kelley, Wine Advocate (2024).A pinker edg...
