Michel Lafarge Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles 2005 Michel Lafarge - Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles 2005

the Domaine''''''''s smallest holding at only .14 ha with vines that are now 50+ years of ageTasting note: This begins with a ripe yet profoundly elegant and classy cool red berry fruit nose where the transparency is such that the underlying minerality of a classic Pézerolles is well and truly on display. The dusty and pure flavors are built on a firm base of minerality, culminating in a sleekly muscled and powerful finish that seems to go on and on without end. While this cannot boast the same degree of sheer extract as the Clos des Chênes, this may be even longer lived, which is truly saying something in such rarified company. A wine for the patient as this is built for a life span that will be measured in decades, not years.
