Domaine Blain-Gagnard - Pommard 2023 (750ml) Central Otago

Domaine Blain-Gagnard - Pommard 2023 (750ml) Central OtagoTasting Notes Pommard is a wine of fullness and sturdiness, especially when compared to the finessed and perfumed wines found in the neighboring village of Volnay. This Pommard shows the density typical of old vines but with pretty aromatics of flowers and herbs thanks to the vineyards' proximity to Volnay. Food Pairing Red Burgundy might be the worlds most flexible food wine. The wines high acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, and low tannins make

and the superripe black juice and licorice flavors

The creamy mousse gives the wine a good lift while smoothing the texture

Lafite's mention as a medieval fief dates to the 14th century

olive and incense and a hint of dark chocolate in the background

With attractive aromas of black fruit and spice

it offers delicate flavors of citrus fruit and grapefruit

all drawn out through the palate as the slate texture kicks in

and they deliver a singular expression of Ballard Canyon Syrah

Residual Sugar - 5

Grapes were cold soaked

elegant with ageing
