Vinous (91)The 2016 Pommard Les Chaponnières 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with crushed strawberry and light undergrowth aromas, becoming earthier with aeration. Moderate vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly tough tannin on the entry, but redeemed by fine salinity and a harmonious, classically-lined finish with just the right amount of dryness. Fine. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. (DIAM 10 closure) |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)Raised in 30% new wood and 70% 1 year old. Solid purple with medium depth. The nose starts on the oak and soon moves to the fruit. Very succulent again, smoothly balanced with a firm grip to the tannins. Yet it is suavely put together. High class, and it certainly has the length. Tasted: October 2019 |

Wine Advocate (86-88)The 2015 Pommard Les Perrières has quite a rich bouquet with touches of fig infusing the kirsch and cassis aromas. The palate is sweet on the entry with bold tannin, moderate complexity with a firm, slightly confit-like finish that needs to muster a little more precision. Not bad, although maybe just picked a day or two too late? Let's see. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)5 Star Wine. From vines planted in 1902. Fine clear mid-purple in colour, this has a very classy nose and some deep sweet rich fruit.

Vinous (90)The 2020 Pommard Les Perrières is a cuvée where winemaker Xavier Horiot confessed that in retrospect, he would have liked to pick a week earlier. Granted, the aromatics feel quite high-toned and extroverted, which is not his style, though the palate is fleshy and well-balanced, quite harmonious with sufficient acidity to keep it in balance. Maybe Horiot was being a bit hard on himself - this is perfectly fine. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (90-93)Picked over several days. An even powerful purple.

Burghound (93)This is also aromatically quite restrained but aggressive swirling reveals a lovely blend of spice elements that suffuse very ripe aromas of poached plum, cassis and violet. Once again there is excellent volume and mid-palate density to the attractively textured big-bodied flavors that terminate in a mocha and bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that is noticeably warm. There is much to like here but the balance isn't quite as well dialed in as the best in the range. |

Burghound (96)A reserved, cool and inexpressive nose requires aggressive swirling to eventually liberate its high-toned aromas of essence of red cherry, just turned earth and plenty of sauvage nuances. There is absolutely superb intensity to the super-sleek texture of the broad-shouldered flavors thanks to the fine-grained tannins that also shape the moderately austere and equally long finish. This is genuinely stunning though very much built-to-age. |

Burghound (95)An ever spicier and equally cool combination freely displays of red and blue pinot fruit, tangerine peel, anise, smoked duck and a whisper of exotic tea. The richer bigger-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate density while exuding evident minerality on the powerful, mouth coating and hugely long finish. While qualitatively similar to the Latricières, this offers a markedly different expression. Excellent and this too is recommended. |
