Joseph Drouhin, Pommard (Burgundy, France) 2008

Dec 8, 2010

By Michael Franz

 This very well-made village wine did nothing but improve for the 48 hours over which I scrutinized it, suggesting that it may well improve enough if aged to merit an even higher score.  As things stand, it shows both the delicacy that one expects from Pommard Pinot but also more depth and dimension than one would usually expect from a straight village bottling.  Already quite well integrated, it just needs time to unwind.
