Pousse d’Or Pommard 1er cru Les Jarollières 2018

91-93 points and ‘Sweet spot/Outstanding,’ Allen Meadows (Burghound): “This is restrained to the point of being almost mute with its highly reticent nose of ripe purple fruit, earth and discreet spice wisps. Once again there is a lovely mid-palate texture to the mineral-driven flavors that display focused power on the more complex and lingering though markedly firm finish. This isn’t super-dense and there is a bit of tannic edginess, but my sense is that this will eventually come together in time. Drink: 2033+. (Apr 2020)”

91-93 points Jasper Morris, MW: “Bright ripe purple. The nose is backward but suggests a fine volume of fruit. Some dark notes, a dusting of chocolate, weight more at the back of the palate, firm tannins but they have ripened and there is a good weight of fruit for sure. Medium plus length. (Dec 2019)”
