2019 Pommard Les Cras, Domaine de Montille
This parcel lies at the bottom of the hill, beneath Rugiens. On this side - the Volnay side - of the village, the soils are ferrous, with the iron oxide colouring them red. Low yields combined with 50% whole bunch fermentation means this vigorous soil is tamed, and the wine expresses big, dark fruits kept fresh with crunchy tannins. A nice flicker of blood orange running through the dark fruit gives nuance and complexity.
