Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 31 Jan 23
The 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Croix Noires is very classic in profile, exhibiting aromas of dark berries, cherries, rose petals and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, supple and vibrant, with powdery tannins and lively acids, it's deep and layered, with a youthfully structured profile that will reward bottle age.
Drinking Date: 2030 - 2050

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Pommard Les Croix Noires 1er Cru has a vibrant nose with red cherry and wild strawberry fruit, fine mineralité and showing more composure than the Les Fremiers. The palate is well-defined, nicely structured with succulent ripe red fruit and a touch of spice towards the finish. This is another cuvée that will have an upside in cellaring.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2040
