Domaine Mazilly Pere & Fils Poutures, Pommard Premier Cru, France 2011

Description

The 2011 Domaine Mazilly Père & Fils Pommard Premier Cru “Les Poutures” offers a more refined and approachable expression of Pommard than the appellation’s traditionally powerful reputation suggests. The 2011 vintage in Burgundy leaned toward elegance over intensity, producing wines with bright fruit, moderate structure, and earlier drinkability.

In the glass, it shows a developing garnet hue with aromas of red cherry, dried raspberry, rose petal, and subtle spice. With air, earthy undertones of forest floor, leather, and a touch of savory minerality begin to emerge. The palate is medium-bodied with firm but polished tannins — classic Pommard structure — balanced by lively acidity that keeps the wine focused and fresh.
