As is typically the case this is a big

Launay Horiot, Pommard Perrieres Vintage:2018 but never top rank(from a 2. 2 ha holding that was originally planted in 1906). A deft application of wood frames ripe aromas of plum, violet and soft earth wisps. There is fine volume and intensity to the nicely detailed middle weight flavors that conclude in a persistent, balanced and only mildly rustic finale. This is a very good Pommard villages and worth checking out. Plus this wine always ages well and the 2019 version should be no exception.
