Maison Leroy Pommard 1er Cru 2010 (1x75cl)

Pommard sits in the Côte de Beaune and is one of the sturdier reds in Burgundy, and this is a premier cru bottling from Maison Leroy, the negociant house. With 15 years in bottle, it's the kind of wine you open for a proper sit-down meal rather than a casual weeknight.

Decant it and give it some air. A 2010 Burgundy premier cru also reads well as a dinner-party contribution or a gift for someone who already knows their Côte de Beaune.

Tasting notes

Pommard Pinot Noir usually shows darker red fruit and a firmer frame than its neighbours, and after 15 years a wine like this typically softens towards dried fruit, earth and undergrowth notes. Bottles of this age do vary.
