The maiden 2018 Pommard Les Chanlins is a new addition for the domaine. The 0.25-hectare parcel comes from Alex and Marc Bachelet’s father who sold the fruit to négociants until 2011 although subsequently it was affected by hail and mildew. Finally it sees the light of day. In this vintage it contains 50% whole bunch. It has an uncomplicated but attractive nose of brambly black fruit mixed with touches of rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with such a silky texture that I would swear it comes from the Côtes de Nuits. Very pure and sensual on the finish. This is superb. Three-and-a-half barrels produced. -- Neal Martin (Vinous: 90-92 Points)
