Nicolas Rossignol, Pommard "Les Vignots"

Pommard produces some of most powerful and sturdy wines from the Côte de Beaune. Nicolas Rossignol’s Les Vignots shows great typicity, displaying superb depth of dark cherry fruit and firm graphite-like tannins lending the wine superb structure and longevity. The 2017 Pommard Les Vignots is lovely, unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild berries, potpourri and subtle grilled meats.

On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and nicely concentrated, with good depth at the core, vibrant fruit tones and fine but chalky structuring tannins. This year, it’s my favorite of Rossignol’s two Pommard AOC bottlings.

Nicolas Rossignol, Pommard "Les Vignots" 2017	90-91 Vinous The 2017 Pommard Les Vignots contains 30% whole cluster fruit, like the Les Noizons, but unlike that vineyard, here the soil is chalkier. The nose is more introverted and fight-fisted than the Les Noizons, demanding more encouragement as it offers earthy aromas. The palate is structured, linear, tight and focused, showing more black fruit than red, and the saline finish lingers nicely in the mouth. Very fine.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
