2021 Pommard, Les Cras, Camille Giroud, Burgundy

The 2021 Pommard Les Cras conveys a sense of presence on the nose, a mélange of red and black fruit, cassis and pressed violet. The palate is medium-bodied with a very velvety texture, sweet and candied with a plush finish that just lacks some Pommard DNA. Yet, it is going to be seductive in the near term.

Drink 2024 - 2030

The cool, earthy red berry scents have herbal tea nuances. The delicious and attractively vibrant, if not especially dense, flavours possess excellent detail on the firm, youthfully austere, and sneaky long finish, which isn't exactly lean but certainly not seductive.

Drink from 2028 onward

Mid crimson. The bouquet is more angular than either of the Volnay wines. Mouth filling, generous red fruit, not too much in the way of tannin, though a touch more structure even so. Decent volume in the mouth.
