"The really old vines are planted east-west

but not a great vintage for Celestins

a gorgeous perfume of stewed black cherries

but that period is down to several months from a full year the wine spent in small barrels up until 2001 or so

but they are now all there front and center

Courcel, Pommard Fremiers other_regions_italy "The really old vines areA very ripe, fresh and notably floral nose also speaks of cassis, earth and plum aromas that are trimmed in a background application of wood. There is excellent richness to the full bodied and impressively concentrated flavors that possess a supple mouth feel on the palate coating, intense and long finish. This well balanced effort is supported by firm but fine tannins that are clearly mature. In a word, gorgeous. 93 2022+
