Joseph Drouhin, Pommard (Burgundy, France) 2009

Sep 27, 2011

By Gerald D. Boyd

 Pommard is the one of the leading village wines of the Cote de Beaune.  This wine was aged in French oak barrels, 20% new wood, for 15 months, racked and then fined with egg whites prior to bottling.  It has a bright medium ruby color, deep boiled tea, rose petal and black cherry aromatics, richly textured fruity flavors with full refined tannins, hints of exotic spice, 13% alcohol and very good length.
