Pommard 1er Cru 2020, Burgundy, Claude LeBlanc

Appellation: Pommard Premier Cru Grape: 100% Pinot noir . ServingTemperature:between14° to 16° Shel life of wine: 15 to 20 years .Traditional vinification in open vats, with punching of the cap and pumping over according to tasting; vatting for a minimum of 15 days; entonnage (30% new barrels minimum 12 moth).  Tasting notes: Beware of preconceived notions! The fame of Pommard in the 19th century earned it the image of a wine that is both forceful and virile. In reality, time, terroir and methods of vinification have all combined to create a more subtle reality, a wine that is both richer and more sensitive. Its colour is the deep, dark red with mauve highlights which caused Victor Hugo to speak ofit as "night in combat with day". Its aromas are redolent ofblackbeny, bilbeny, or gooseberry, cherry pit and ripe plum. Often, wild and feline notes develop with age. At full maturity, it tends towards leather, chocolate and pepper. It needs to be given time to open up to its fullest extent
