🏰 The 2016 vintage in Burgundy, while challenging, produced wines with good concentration and freshness. Vincent Girardin's Pommard Les Vignots from 2016 is expected to reflect these characteristics, offering a classic expression of Pommard. 【Known for its robust structure and earthy undertones, this Pinot Noir from Les Vignots vineyard typically delivers a powerful yet elegant profile.】 While specific tasting notes for the 2016 are not readily available, Pommard wines generally exhibit aromas of black cherry, plum, and often a hint of game or forest floor, with firm tannins and a long finish. The 2016 vintage overall in Burgundy saw a cold and wet winter and spring, followed by a warm summer, leading to a smaller but high-quality harvest. 🍴 Pommard's robust nature makes it an excellent partner for hearty dishes. Think roasted red meats like beef or lamb, game birds, mushroom-based dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Its structure can stand up to rich sauces and earthy flavors. 🥂 This wine is perfect for a formal dinner or a special occasion where a full-bodied, complex red Burgundy is desired. It has the structure to age gracefully, but the 2016 vintage is likely approachable now with some decanting. Serve at cellar temperature (around 16-18°C) to allow its full aromatic complexity to unfold.
