Jobard, Claudie 2022 Pommard 1er Cru "Les Charmots"

The superb 1er Cru vineyard "Les Charmots" is on the south/southeast facing slope north of the village. Claudie has a tiny parcel of 100 year-old vines which are tended by horse or by hand, with replantings by massale selection. Capable of long aging, the 2022 shows a light red/garnet color with delicate very floral aromas of red berries, very fine and elegant. The palate is dense but light and bright, almost weightless, with fine tannins and elegant chalky red berry/cherry fruit. "Serve ideally with game, braised or roasted, or a piece of beef. Naturally enjoys the company of cheeses with developed flavors: époisses, langres, soumaintrain but also comté." David Lillie
