Dominique Laurent - Pommard 1er Cru Les Charmots 2023

Keywords : Elegant / Structured / Refined

The wine :  From one of the most alluring climates of the Pommard appellation, this 1er Cru Les Charmots signed by Dominique Laurent embodies a precise and refined vision of this great Burgundy terroir. Located on ideally exposed slopes, the old vines of Pinot noir give this wine a delightful balance between structure and elegance. Unlike some more powerful Pommard, Les Charmots indeed offers a more accessible interpretation, where finesse takes precedence. On the nose, a delicate bouquet of ripe red fruits, enhanced by subtle spicy aromas (pepper, vanilla) is revealed.The palate, both silky and structured, impresses with the quality of its tannins and its beautiful length. The whole is supported by perfectly controlled barrel aging that respects the fruit. Accessible from its early years while offering great aging potential, this Pommard 1er Cru will pair ideally with grilled red meats or roasted poultry.
