2017 Pommard 1. Cru Combes Dessus Marquis d'Angerville

Rich dense purple, there is a fair amount of fruit on the nose, a middling bit of dark red fruit with quite high acidity, and the firm backstop of tannins. Still very youthful. Tasted: November 2018.

One of Marquis d'Angerville's less well-known bottlings, the 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Combes Dessus exhibits lovely aromas of sweet cherries, spices, dried flowers and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, juicy and layered, with good concentration, a comparatively open-knit core and a long finish.
