2020 Pommard 1. Cru Clos Blanc Henri Boillot

Deep full purple, the nose seems almost discreet after the Volnays. Clos Blanc is a cooler spot. There is a firm thread running through the middle, and a tannin or two. Plenty of concentration at the back, not too ripe, good potential.

(from a parcel purchased in 2007 and replanted; 2018 was the first vintage where this has been declared under its own name as it was previously blended). A somber and decidedly restrained nose consists of poached plum, red cherry and plenty of warm earth nuances. I very much like the texture to the solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that display sneaky good length where the only reproach is a touch of warmth.
