Region:
Burgundy, Pommard
Fanny Sabre has a number of plots dispersed throughout Pommard and this wine comes from a plot of very old vines. This appellation is known for strong, austere Pinot Noir wines that take a while to reveal their best side, however the 2017 is a very good wine with lots of structure that is drinking well now. The combination of the very old vines and the complex marl soils that combine mudstone and calcium carbonate minerality help to provide the structure and complexity present in this wine. This is a very interesting wine that is lively on the palate and has a long finish. It needs to be decanted for an hour or so prior to drinking. (Living Wines)
