2020 | Pinot Noir
Isabelle et Denis Pommier; 'Grain de Survie'
Burgundy; Chablis, France
Such a ridiculous Pinot Noir, the fruit is giving 110%, crazy value for ~$20!

wow. This wine was pretty meh young. With age it’s amazing.
Nose: dense. Potent minerality. Contained richness. Almost like a dried apricot vibe.
Palate: elegantly rich. Delicious. Yellow fruits. Deep. Incredible. Just so enjoyable to drink.
Finish: long. Luscious. — 10 months ago
Terrific rich and deep nose of savory minerals and an elite airiness. Also a hint if that classic Pommier richness. Pure and fresh. Palate is deep, rich, savory and incisive. Mouth-filling and deep. Awesome structure and finesse. So well made. Flavors of lemon, lemon pith and some savory elements. Has years to go. Truly great. — 4 years ago
The 2016 Chablis Côte de Léchet 1er Cru has a gorgeous bouquet with green apple, flint, honeysuckle and light jasmine aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a fine line of acidity, discrete use of wood here (30% barrel ageing for 18 months) with a beautifully poised, effervescent, orange zest-tinged finish that lingers. Fantastic considering the challenges of the growing season. Tasted blind at the BIVB Chablis tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2018) — 6 years ago
