then aged a dozen years in solera

Gentle tannins and lively acidity make it juicy and refreshing

with the potential for years of exploration in the glass

with the textural lift that comes from neutral-barrel and tank aging

Billard-Gonnet, Pommard 1er Pezerolles, 2010 with golden apples One of the estate's mostPezerolles 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.
