Tasting Notes
-
Allen Meadows,
Score: 87-90A pungent nose of wood toast and reduction aromas dominate the underlying fruit at present. There is excellent size, weight and mid-palate density to the complex and highly energetic middle weight plus flavors that seem to be constructed around a firm core of minerality before terminating in a rough and chewy finish that is quite drying, indeed to the point that it's hard to see this rounding out. As is the case with several wines in the range this is not without its appeal, but the balance for longer-term aging is suspect in my view.

Domaine de Montille

Region
Pommard
A long popular appellation, Pommard is yet another exclusive red wine area which produces by far the most structured reds of the Côte de Beaune. It extracts rich body and long ageing potential from the limestone/iron-rich clay soil. Some examples can be markedly rustic, yet as time has passed and winemaking know-how has improved, Pommard's wines are becoming softer and more approachable when young. Its vines cover 317 hectares of which over a third are premier cru vineyards. Several have pronounced following and even one, Les Rugiens, is being pushed to become a grand cru.
