2022 Pommard 1er Cru Pézerolles, Domaine Ballot-Millot

Charles took over from his father Philippe Ballot at the start of the new Millenium, although his father was still quite youthful at that time. But it was clear even then that Charles was destined to do something special at the domaine so why delay? As they say, if you’re good enough you’re old enough! Twenty years on and Charles has firmly established himself as one of the top names of Meursault. For this cuvee, Charles buys the grapes from his cousin Armand Heitz. Lovely notes of red and dark raspberries with some sweet spice to give nuances. Chiseled, with fine-grained tannins, this is a very elegant Pommard.
