Burgundy, France— Marthe’s personal favorite of all the reds she makes! From a plot at the top of the Pommard hillside, spitting distance from the 1r cru vines. Whole bunch harvest and vinification in tank. Grapes see a pump over or two per day during the 15 days of vatting and three light punch downs by foot on the very last day of maceration before pressing. Pressing is very gentle and without re-drying to avoid extracting any plant material. Aged un-racked in barrels for 18 months. Bottled after a light filtration in the following month.
A tremendous effort on village Pommard. Velvety and round with typically pronounced dark fruit flavours and ripe tannins. The palate is silky and deep, lifted by mouthwatering acidity and a marked mineral imprint on the beautifully lifted finish. Drinking beautifully now but will continue to blossom in with cellaring.
