The 2016 Pommard Villages was acutely affected by the frost this year with some parcels yielding diddly-squat. As such, there is a slight sense of hollowness on the nose—aromatics that feel distant and fleeting. The palate is better with rounded, slightly rustic black fruit, fine tannin and a finish that wants to compensate for the lack of aromatics. Maybe it was just closed down on the day, because the palate is showing well.
