Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Pommard 1er Cru Les Poutures from Domaine Lejeune has a strong fish oil scents on the nose that punctures the dense black, rather rustic fruit. Volatile? The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannin, sweet black cherry fruit at its core but there is an offending bitterness towards the finish that discourages another sip. It turns quite balsamic in the glass, which does not bode well for long-term ageing.
