Domaine Nicolas Rossignol 2018 Pommard "Chaponniere" 1er Cru 750ml

Chaponnières lies on clay soils just below Les Rugiens-Bas and shares some of the tannic carapace of its wines. This is a rich, dense, compact Pommard that will please people who like some backbone and grip in their wines, allied to bright acidity and layers of damson and dark cherry fruit. The 20% new oak adds a sheen of vanilla spice.
