Pommard has the reputation of being a village that makes rather masculine wines. Pommard depending on the winegrowers and the climates can produce wines remarkable for their finesse, elegance and freshness. The 1er Cru Arvelets and Chanière are located along the Petite Combe. These climates are quite cool by their orientation. This orientation is an undeniable advantage for the production of great Pinot noir wines with increasingly sunny vintages.
96 Points - Burghound
An exceptionally classic and profound Pommard that requires patience but offers immense reward. The nose is a deep, brooding mix of wild red and black cherries, raw cocoa, rose petal, and a distinct, stony minerality. On the palate, it is powerful and densely structured with a formidable architecture of firm, ripe tannins that are perfectly balanced by a vibrant core of acidic energy and a dense weight of fruit. The finish is incredibly long, savory, and slowly unfolding, revealing layers of earth and spice. This is a Burgundy of terroir transparency and breathtaking potential.
95 Points - Vinous
From a master of the appellation, this Les Arvelets is a wine of intense power and finesse. The bouquet is complex and captivating, with scents of black cherry, licorice, underbrush, and a subtle smoky note. The palate is broad-shouldered and muscular, yet there is a stunning purity and precision to the fruit that shines through the wine's robust structure. The balance is impeccable, with the ripe tannins and fresh acidity carrying the wine to a persistent, mineral-driven finish. A brilliant expression of Pommard that will age for two decades or more.
