Also recommended, but no tasting note given. The Pommiers were completing an imposing new cuverie when I visited, with escalators for fruit reception and large, jacketed stainless steel tanks – inside which, their young 2008s were quite promising – further signs of this couple’s serious quality-consciousness. A certain tartness and shading well into the green end of the flavor spectrum kept their generic 2007 vintage wines from recommending themselves more than modestly, despite their having held off bottling any of their wines before one year in hopes that this would allow them to shed austerity and round out.
