2019 Pommard 1er Cru Clos de Derriere Saint Jean (Monopole), Domaine Joannès Violot-Guillemard

Solely owned by the family, this is Pommard’s tiniest First Growth, located in the heart of the village, in the shadow of the sturdy church tower. The vines are old (planted in 1954), the grapes being 100% de-stemmed in 2019. They fermented in one barrel which was rolled to gently extract colour and flavour, rather than being punched down or pumped over. Production is just 150 magnums, giving a fascinating wine. Colour is medium deep, aromas are fine and spicy. Palate is superbly textured, dense and long, with beautiful aftertaste (for drinking 2024-2035+).

Please note, this en primeur wine is limited to 1 case online. More may be available: please call 020 7584 7927 or email to enquire further.
