Albert Bichot : Pommard Village "Clos des Ursulines" Monopole Dom. du Pavillon 2018

A solid, linear red with crushed cherries, ripe strawberries and some wet earth and leaves on the nose and palate. Medium to full body, firm and creamy tannins and a flavorful finish. It’s tight and poised and needs two or three years to soften. Better after 2023.

Deep colour, expansive, pure, very straightforward nose; full-bodied, generous texture without heaviness, remarkable length—an almost ideal village wine.

A subtle hint of charcoal marks the fruit on the nose, followed by a lovely note of blueberry. The palate has retained freshness without losing its mature balance. A Pommard of fine quality that will please everyone. We have lovely fine tannins.

All this shy wine reveals on its nose are a few notes of cold ash that mix with hints of cherry. The palate comes in with textured freshness and spry tannins that still give a little crunch. Freshness gives this a vivacious, crunchy midpalate.
