Pommard 1er Cru Clos de la Commaraine 2015 Maison Louis Jadot

Pommard 1er Cru Clos de la Commaraine, Louis Jadot, Pommard, Cotes de Beaune, France 2015 

Grape: 100% Pinot Noir, 4ha vineyard on stony soil, hand harvested, aged in oak for 18 months (1/3 new barrels)

Critics' Tasting Notes: 

"The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Clos de la Commaraine has an outgoing and almost Volnay-like bouquet with copious red cherry and strawberry tart aromas neatly integrated with the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet ripe red cherry and raspberry fruit, fine tannin and a pleasant spice-tinged finish that lingers in the mouth. This is simply a lovely Pommard to enjoy over the next decade." Drink 2018-2028

(89-91/100) points, Neal Martin, robertparker.com, December 2016 

"Tank sample. Bright crimson. Some mushrooms on the nose – good mushrooms – and better hidden tannins than in most Pommards. Lots of charm. And structure." Drink 2026-2040

16.5+/20 points, Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, January 2017

"Situated just to the north of the village of Pommard, this eight-acre vineyard has produced a typically structured wine with firm tannins and a dry core. The wine also has the rich black-cherry fruit of the vintage. Together with the wood aging, the wine will develop richly and powerfully." Drink from 2023
