2018 Domaine Buisson Charles Pommard ‘En Mareau’

Pommard’s main feature is the stream of the Avant Dheune which in prehistoric times was a flowing river into what was the Jurassic sea. Therefore heavier soils (i.e clay) were washed down and alas why Pommard has heavier more structured wines than say that of Volnay. En Mareau is in the combe (side valley) with a cooler aspect than those further around toward Volnay, or those on the Beaune side of Pommard. "A mentholated top note is present on the equally ripe yet still agreeably fresh dark berry fruit and earth-suffused nose. The relatively refined middle weight flavors possess good verve and detail before terminating in a youthfully austere finish that is shaped by mildly rustic tannins."
