2021 Pommard 'Vieilles Vignes', Domaine Claudie Jobard

A great example of the work done in Pommard by quality-conscious producers these days. This once unyielding appellation requiring tons of patience now yields wines of much, much for carefully extracted fruit, and the result, as can be seen in Claudie’s Pommard Vieilles Vignes, is a pinot that retains natural power and structure from the terroir but also immediately delivers pleasure thanks to the aromatic, expressive style of fruit. A commune to be rediscovered for sure, and this is the perfect place to start.
