Domaine Arnaud Baillot Pommard 2020 versus Arnaud Baillot Pommard 1er Cru Les Charmots 2020
Wine by Bok: 9.25/10 stars
I wanted to do a village level Pommard against a premier cru plot to see how much difference it was, as I got a lot of enquiries about the differences. In short, a world apart! The village of Pommard is situated between Volnay and Beaune, in the past, a lot of wine critics gave a very high rating for this village. Les Charmots is a plot located north of Pommard village. I have written notes for Les Charmots 2020 here (2020 Arnaud Baillot Pommard 1er Cru Les Charmots Rouge - 750ml | Fine Wines Pte Ltd). I will use a 3D description for you to visualize the difference between the village level and the premier cru. The village wine is like a young lady who has not reached matured age yet, perhaps a college student, as the content is a bit skinny with the lack of matured fruits. On the other hand, the premier cru wine is akin to a wise and very matured lady, perhaps holding a high post in the corporate world, with a steady hand. The content is fully matured with a style geared towards feminine elegance, very enjoyable. I highly recommend you to grab a bottle of premier cru Les Charmots, it’s truly a very enjoyable wine at a decent price. (9/24)
Wine With Bok - 9/10 Stars
Pommard is a village in the Cote de Beaune subregion of Burgundy famous for producing powerful and richly flavoured red wines made of Pinot Noir. As a young winemaker, Arnaud is a hands-on person, from selecting the origin of the grapes, to overlooking the winemaking process, up to choosing the type of barrels and ageing time for their wines, you can be assured Arnaud puts in his very best efforts to take care of his wines. The grape is sourced from the village of Pommard, employed traditional fermentation and aged in Burgundy oak with 30% new oak for 12 months. The result is a powerful bouquet of black cherry and spice. Palate wise the wine possesses firmness and bold texture, with a tinch of greenness. A decent wine for people who loves to explore the Pommard wine style.
