2022 Domaine de Montille Pommard Pezerolles (750ml)

By Charles Curtis MW Burgundy 2022 en primeur report: Côte de Beaune, 5/30/2023, (See more on Decanter...)94 points (Domaine de Montille, Pinot Noir / Pinot Nero, Pommard, 1er Cru Pézerolles, Burgundy, France, Red) Pézerolles is up-slope from Petits Epenots. The topsoil here is relatively deep and somewhat sandy, but a firm limestone underpins the terroir. The combination gives a texture that is velvety and supple. The bright plum and blackberry aromas with a hint of tea, bergamot, and spice are lovely, and the finish is balanced and elegant. The grapes are from two parcels that total 0.89 hectares; half were fermented as whole clusters, and the wine is ageing now in cask (30% new). It will be ready to drink before the Rugiens-Bas, but this, too, will last. (Drink between 2027-2055)
