2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Chaponnieres Rouge

$130/bottle under the original label in the US

Éleveur 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Chaponnièrs is a 100% single-vineyard gem from one of Pommard’s most revered Premier Cru climats. Masterfully balanced and showcasing an extraordinary vintage, it’s no surprise that the accolades have followed: scores in the mid-90s from multiple authorities, with an additional 93 points from James Suckling under our own label for good measure. 2020’s extra dynamic style offers something for everyone: dark fruits and robust structure for the Cab drinker, and an unmistakable Burgundian essence for the Pinot lover.

A stunning deep ruby hue lures you into the glass, where aromas of raspberries and spiced cherries are kissed by chocolate and freshly ground coffee. A full, rich palate boasts red berries, dried herbs, spices, and cocoa nibs, accented by deftly interwoven acidity and small, polished, uniform tannins providing structure and poise. Subtle earthy undertones and a savory red fruit umami are lifted over vanilla bean and rose hips in a long, resonant finish – a gorgeous Premier Cru expression from iconic Burgundian soil.
