VINEYARD BRANDS® Domaine de Courcel Pommard – 6057971974303

Notes from the Winemaker:
The Croix Noires (0.58h) are also located below the Rugiens, adjacent to the Fremiers on the north side. The Domaine owns more than half of the total surface of the appellation. Although situated close to the Fremiers, the soil here is deeper (0.8m) and more claey. The vines are east facing and all around 40 years of age. The wines produced have strong aromas leaning towards very ripe black cherry and also enjoy marked tannins.
To be served at 15°C.

90-92 Points – Allen Meadows’ Burghound:
“A slightly riper and more complex nose offers up a mix of plum, violet and dark currant scents along with plenty of earth. There is excellent density to the vibrant, intense and muscular flavors that deliver fine length on the balanced finale. I like the complexity of this distinctly Pommard-like effort. Patience required.” – (Apr 15, 2015)

88-90 Points – Stephen Tanzer:
“Medium red. Aromas of black cherry, mocha and coffee. Dense, thick and fine-grained, with a juicy quality to the very ripe black raspberry flavor. Juicy, nicely delineated wine with a serious tannic spine.” – Stephen Tanzer (November 2014)
