<p>Pommard 1er Cru Le Pézerolles, Domaine A.F. Gros, Pommard, Cotes de Beaune, France, 2011Grape: 100% Pinot Noir, stony marl soil, hand harvested, aged 18 months in oak, bottled unfined & unfilteredMedium colour. Firm tight nose, with some raspberry fruit. On the palate, raspberries, liquorice and spice, with a streak of tannin. Medium weight.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 2015-202517/20 points, Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, January 2013″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.” Drink Now90/100 points, Neal Martin, RobertParker.com, November 2014Pommard 1er Cru Le Pézerolles, Domaine A.F.
