François d'Allaines, Pommard Vieilles Vignes 2018 14.5% Serve slightly chilledDense, powerful fruit and rich colour in a full bodied red. Aromas of dark cherries, dark chocolate and a little star anise carry through to flavours of cherry, blackberry and plum, with complex hints of cocoa, leather and mushrooms. Smooth body, refreshing acidity and firm tannins make this a match for duck or gooseor ratatouillethat will continue to evolve for five or more years.
