Dugat Py - Pommard La Levriere Tres Vieilles Vignes AC 2018

DECANTER: "A rare excursion outside Dugat-Py's home territory of the Côte de Nuits, this is an impressive village red from a 70-year-old parcel on clay soils near the route nationale. Plush, broad and comparatively expansive for a Pommard, it has scented 50% new wood, flavours of plum and liquorice and some supporting tannic grip."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2018 Pommard La Levrière is showing very nicely from bottle, offering up complex aromas of raspberries and cherries complemented by hints of loamy soil, licorice, dried flowers and espresso roast. Medium to full-bodied, layered and elegantly muscular, it's as refined as it was in barrel, built around powdery tannins and lively acids."
