Pommard "Les Cras" 2001, Moissenet-Bonnard
Medium foxy red. Open immediately, licorice, black currant. Ripe, ryebread, toast-and-jam. Brings a smile because its so Burgundy. Mineral overtones. Medium to high acidity. Cherry fruit with a chalky texture as you'd expect from a lieu-dit called "les cras". Much more zippy on the palate than the ripe black fruit nose intimates. Bouquet after 20 minutes ends on clear mint notes. This wine is unfiltered and the last glass had the sediment to prove it. Good compromise between classic sturdy Pommard and more forward fruit style.
