Pommard "Les Vignots" Xavier Monnot, Burgundy, FR, 2022

Wine Enthusiast

Smoke and charred earth accent ripe but restrained blackberry and plum in this elegant, graphite-edged Pinot Noir. Sourced from a high-elevation, south-facing site, it's powerful in fruit but has a racy mineral edge that's invigorating. Fine, silky tannins make the wine ready now but it should hold through 2029. — Anna Lee C. Iijima
