Staff Pick Notes

When on the outskirts of a forest you understand there is more beyond what can be seen. That is the best way to think about this Pommard. Give this a sip and be assailed by a bouquet of bouquets! Rose oils, violets, grape skins, and cracked peppercorns. Despite all this abundance you can tell there’s even more behind it all. The palate is stoic and rippling with muscle. At this age the Pommard’s sturdy fruit is just beginning to soften. Tart berries and thick skinned cranberries. It’s impressive yet you know there is something grander beyond the fore. While none of us may ever know this wines true breadth, it still such a privilege to take in what you can.
