2017 Domaine A.F. Gros Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Cru

A gentle touch of wood sets off attractive, even perfumed scents of violets, cassis and plum. The rich, intense and vibrant flavors are distinctly earthy though there is plenty of the hallmark minerality and a lovely refinement thanks to the fine-grained tannins, all wrapped in a detailed and impressively long finish where the wood that appeared on the nose reemerges.
