Critics' Tasting Notes:

"Dry, quite firm – very Pommard, then! It is gratifying when appellations are true to type. For me, it’s not as enticing as the Vosne-Romanées, but that's personal bias." Drink 2015-2025

"Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles ‘11 has a delineated, conservative but focused bouquet with earthy strawberry and raspberry fruit, hints of orange blossom lending a little complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity. This is sharp and perhaps a little angular in the mouth, but there is still good length with a dash of black pepper lingering on the aftertaste."
