N/Apts The Wine Advocate– 2016 vintage

FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE
The 2016 Pommard Les Vignots includes a new parcel of vines. It has a very fragrant bouquet with chalk dust filtering through the well-defined red berry fruit. The palate is well balanced with ripe tannin, quite dense in the mouth with brine-tinged black fruit that feel quite structured and solid on the finish. This is another excellent Pommard from Nicolas Rossignol.

N/Apts The Wine Advocate– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
The 2017 Pommard Les Vignots is lovely, unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild berries, potpourri and subtle grilled meats. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and nicely concentrated, with good depth at the core, vibrant fruit tones and fine but chalky structuring tannins. This year, it’s my favorite of Rossignol’s two Pommard AOC bottlings.

N/Apts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
The 2017 Pommard Les Vignots contains 30% whole cluster fruit, like the Les Noizons, but unlike that vineyard, here the soil is chalkier. The nose is more introverted and tight-fisted than the Les Noizons, demanding more encouragement as it offers earthy aromas. The palate is structured, linear, tight and focused, showing more black fruit than red, and the saline finish lingers nicely in the mouth. Very fine.
