2020 Pommard, Les Vignots, Pierre Girardin, Burgundy

Description

The 2020 Pommard, Les Vignots by Pierre Girardin is a beautiful expression of the Pommard appellation. The wine displays a deep ruby colour and offers aromas of ripe red berries, such as red cherry and raspberry, along with delicate floral notes and hints of spice. 

The wine is medium to full-bodied on the palate, with silky tannins and flavours of red fruit, blackcurrant, and plum, complemented by subtle oak notes. The wine culminates in a long, elegant finish, leaving a lasting impression of red fruit and minerality. 

Overall, this wine is well-balanced, with good acidity and a firm structure that suggests it will age gracefully for years.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Les Vignots

Les Vignots

Les Vignots is a well-known vineyard site within the Pommard appellation in Burgundy, situated on the village's western side. It benefits from a gentle slope and favourable sun exposure, while the clay and limestone-rich soils contribute to the unique character of the wines. The wines are typically full-bodied, structured, and age-worthy, with intense dark fruit flavours, hints of earth and spice, and firm tannins that enhance their ageing potential.
