While the 2011s are stronger than the 2012s

Patience required

textural density and general ripeness on display in this wine

don’t plan on drinking a bottle for at least another 5-8 years

Vougeraie, Pommard Petits Noizons other_regions_italy While the 2011s are strongerA ripe, fresh and expressive nose freely offers up its combination of black cherry, earth, anise and floral top notes. Here too the vibrant and attractively textured flavors are not especially concentrated though they do display slightly more minerality on the dusty, youthfully austere and balanced finale. This is a refined Pommard but a Pommard nonetheless so at least some patience will be necessary.
