Domaine Parent Pommard Les Chaponnieres 2016 |
A mildly toasty nose consists of super-fresh and airy aromas featuring the cool essence of red pinot fruit that reflects discreet notes of earth and spiced tea. There is excellent detail if less refinement to the more concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent depth and length on the serious and mouth coating finish.
The Pommard Les Chaponnières 1er Cru comes from 82-year-old vines. It sees 10% whole clusters and is matured in 50% new oak. The well-defined bouquet seems to carry the new oak well, and offers slightly tarry black cherry and bilberry fruit; wild strawberry emerges with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin and quite saline in the mouth, coiling up toward a finish that implies it will need a few years in bottle.
