2019 Pommard Les Chanlins Domaine Bachelet-Monnot

The sophomore 2019 Pommard Les Chanlins 1er Cru comes from the 0.25ha parcel that Alex and Marc Bachelet’s father previously sold to négociants until 2011, although subsequent vintages were eviscerated by hail and mildew. Containing 50% whole bunches like in the debut, it has a vivid nose with blackberry, briary and cranberry with traces of Earl Grey. The palate is well balanced with dark berry fruit laced with sea salt and a touch of black olive. There is a lovely marine influence to this Pommard with great precision on the finish. Noble.
