2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles Rouge

$150/bottle under the original label

Éleveur | 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Pézerolles Rouge is an exquisitely hand-crafted 100% single-vineyard stunner. A spectacular Pinot from the northern end of the village, it boasts the appellation’s signature intensity but also showcases an elegance reminiscent of Volnay – a testament to the intricacy of terroir and how the slightest change in aspect, soil composition, or elevation can make all the difference. Our source has done this world-class dirt plenty of justice, and the wine recently scored 90 points from James Suckling under our label.

Opening with a striking mineral clarity, the nose is lifted and ethereal, with graceful florals and delicate cherries amidst rain-soaked crushed stones, all hovering around a black cherry core. Beneath the elegant perfume lies serious intent – the palate delivers a powerful burst of black fruits layered with mushrooms and fresh-turned soils, framed by excellent acidity and ripe tannins. The finish is strong, with terroir-driven earth tones and resonant red-to-black berries kissed by rose petals, shifting to barrel-kissed vanilla bean and lifted by a delicate spice on the exit.
