2018, Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard, POMMARD, 1er Cru, 'La Platière'

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 excellent verve to the utterly delicious flavours that also possess excellent delineation before concluding in a mineral-laden and sneaky long finale. This is lovely and worth a look. Outstanding. 91 Burghound.
