Wine-making:destemming (80% of the grapes), 5 to 6 days cold pre-fermentation
Wine-storing:in casks (20% new oak), only one racking before bottling, never fining nor filtering
Colour, bouquet:deep red colour; cherry fruit fragrances, a hint of vanilla
Taste:beautiful fruity aromas, long wine with tannins present but soft; final notes roasted and slightly oaky
Conclusion:a delicate Pommard, delicious already
Peak, ageing:to be tasted again in 4 or 5 years, as it can gain in complexity
