Pommard 1er Cru 2020 Claud Leblanc

A classic Pommard Premier Cru with depth, muscle, and polish. Deep dark ruby that trends to garnet with age. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, gooseberry, cherry pit, and ripe plum. With time it develops notes of leather, chocolate, and pepper. The palate is full and mouthfilling with firm but refined tannins, a solid core of fruit, and a long savory finish. Built to age 15 to 20 years.
