Domaine d'Ardhuy Pommard 1er Cru 'Clos des Lambots' 2005		France
A structured Pommard with a soft red fruit nose, and a powerful, weighty finish. Great quality, needs to age.

Release Notes:

Price : $79.00  Qty:  Item No. : 18516  Our Rating : 93  Country : France  Region : Pommard  Grape : Pinot  Noir  Alcohol : 13%

This wine is made from old vines grown in limestone soil. The Pinot Noir is hand-harvested and destemmed before vinification. The wine is then matured for a year in french oak (one third new) from the Bertranges forest, recognized for its subtlety, which allows the fruit flavors to develop.

Tasting Notes:

A bright garnet red color. On the nose it has aromas of black cherries with earthy notes. The palate is dominated by black raspberry and blackberry flavors.
