2023 Pommard 1er Cru La Platière, Domaine Violot-Guillemard

2023 Pommard 1er Cru La Platière, Domaine Violot-Guillemard

This south-facing parcel is tucked up the valley slope, so on the Beaune (i.e. north) side of the village, facing directly towards Volnay. It’s a cool site, thanks to the fresh breeze that is drawn down through the vines, but the white soil and south-facing exposure means it can heat up pretty quickly when the sun shines. It strikes a brilliant balance between ethereal juiciness and mineral bite.

Tasting notes

A glowing crimson. A little has been aged in ceramic. 50% whole bunch vinification. A slight graphite touch to the nose, a bit more structure, attractively perfumed. The palate is a revelation: there is amazing intensity to this Pommard Platière, a stricter structure, much more going on, albeit with the tannins needing more time to resolve. Bright cherry finish. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.
