The 2019 Pommard Les Vignots began my tasting with Lalou Bize-Leroy, and it certainly set a high standard for the wines that followed. Soaring from the glass with scents of raspberries, plums and blackberries mingled with loamy soil, exotic spices and hints of rose petal, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with powdery tannins, lively acids and a seamless, sensual profile.

The 2018 Pommard Les Vignots wafts from the glass with deep aromas of cassis and plums complemented by hints of warm spices and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, it's concentrated and multidimensional, its imposing chassis of ripe, powdery tannins cloaked in an enveloping core of fruit. This is a brilliant young wine with a long future ahead of it.

Wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berry fruit, spices and sweet soil tones that are discretely framed by a deft touch of new oak, Leroy's 2017 Pommard Les Vignots is medium to full-bodied, fine-boned and elegant, with powdery tannins, lively acids and good concentration at the core, concluding with a long and delicately carnal finish. This high-altitude, south-facing site always produces an ethereal, precise wine that's worlds away from Pommard's stereotype.

Aromas of spicy wild berries, grilled meat and forest floor introduce the superb 2016 Pommard Les Vignots, a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine with a deep, tight-knit core, powerful structuring tannins and a lovely line of animating acidity. More reserved than the gourmand 2015 rendition, this will be less approachable out of the gates and is more obviously defined by its high-altitude site.

The 2015 Pommard Les Vignots is fabulous, soaring from the glass with a complex bouquet of peony, sweet plum, spice and rich soil. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, with a deep core of crunchy fruit, racy acids and a wonderful sense of completeness. In Leroy's hands, this cool lieu-dit high on the slope above the village of Pommard has really excelled in this vintage.
