Domaine la Jolivode Pommard AOC, EARL Christian et Pascal Menaut-C330

Medium purple hue. This has a hedonistic nose of ripe plum, blackberry, raspberry, griottes, mulberry, wood smoke, liquorice and clove. The palate positively explodes with an impressive display of red and black fruit, including cherry, plum and berry. Oak adds secondary notes of cedar and vanilla, and there are tertiary notes of tobacco, cooked plum and prune. The finish is exceptional, its beautifully integrated tannins and streak of acidity promising a long life. An unmissable glass of red Burgundy, and fabulous value to boot. 2026-2032 – MP
