Domaine Laurent Pere et Fils Pommard Charmots Vieilles Vignes 2016

From vines said to have been planted in 1900, the Laurent 2006 Pommard Les Charmots Vieilles Vignes is scented with ripe, fresh, dark berries and peat. It offers one of the vintage's electrically-charged, reverberating performances; its sweet, rich purple plum and cherry fruit, roasted meatiness, dark chocolate, and crushed stone seeming to detonate in the finish, leaving behind a whirling interplay of flavors and a long plume of smoke.
