Domaine Cryot-Buthiau Pommard 1er Cru 'Les Arvelets' (2017)

Les Arvelets is a sloping south facing site, giving high ripeness levels. A lovely bright, sweet redfruited nose, aromatic and gently sappy. Juicy red candied fruit on the palate, with firm but fine tannins from the mid-palate onwards, becoming grippy and muscular on the finish. Very much a Pommard, with the structure that implies, but with enough flesh and acid lift to be approachable.

Deep red in the glass with a pronounced bouquet of red fruit, violets and earth. Medium bodied, with good depth of fruit, firm tannins and energy on the palate. Great length.
