A fresh and easy drinking blend of Xinomavro and Negoska from the Tatsis brothers and their homeland of Macedonia
has reached its peak drinking window
growing in clayey silt soils
The wine’s firm tannins provide structure
and this delivers exactly what good Pinot Grigio should: clean citrus and stone fruit
Billard-Gonnet, Pommard 1er Pezerolles, 2010 with golden apples A fresh and easy drinkingPezerolles sits high on the Beaune facing side of Pommard and tends to give a more elegant, perfumed style than the village's burlier crus. Domaine Billard Gonnet, working here since 1766, farms it traditionally: open vat fermentation, foot punch downs, no fining or filtering. The 2010 was a small, tightly wound, classically structured vintage, and this bottle has the cut and freshness to keep developing while drinking well now.
