2016 Jacques Prieur Pommard 1er Cru Les Charmots
Domaine Jacques Prieur
100% Pinot Noir from holdings of 0.27 hectares, coming from two small parcels located on the mid-slope overlooking the 1er cru Les Epenots. The site has ideal east exposure on a well-drained, shallow, stony soil consisting of marly limestone. 21 days in the open wooden vat at controlled temperature; plunged twice a day during alcoholic fermentation. 17 months' élevage in oak. 100% whole bunches in 2016.

(100% vendange entier; one of the three barrels was new, the other ones two years old): Dark red with ruby tones. Very spicy, high-pitched nose combines dark berries, licorice, flowers and wild herbs. Savory, fine-grained wine with a distinct saltiness and no rough edges. Finishes with firm, well-buffered tannins and lovely rising perfume. A classy Pommard in the making. The whole clusters worked much better here than in the 2015, which began with too much dry material owing to the tiny crop level (7.4 h/h in 2015, vs. 25.3 in '16), noted Nadine Gublin.
