Billard-Gonnet, Pommard 1er Pezerolles, 2010 with golden apples this is exactly where youPezerolles sits high on the Beaune facing side of Pommard and tends to give a more elegant, perfumed style than the village's burlier crus. Domaine Billard Gonnet, working here since 1766, farms it traditionally: open vat fermentation, foot punch downs, no fining or filtering. The 2010 was a small, tightly wound, classically structured vintage, and this bottle has the cut and freshness to keep developing while drinking well now.
