The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Les Chaponnières is also completely de-stemmed like Nicolas's other Pommards, however, I find much more refinement and terroir-expression on the nose compared to some of the other crus: blackberry, raspberry preserve and cold stone aromas developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannin, solid backbone, vivacious and tensile with impressive precision on the finish. This is an excellent Pommard.
