2010 Rebourgeon-Mure Pommard 1er Clos Micault
Last time out, this was so über-delicious that it bested the domaine’s 2010 Grands Epenots, since then it has tightened a little, though it’s still a fine and moreish wine, just not quite at the same peak of drinking as before. The nose remains bright, berry red-fruited, with just a little extra depth of aroma for padding. Fresh with a really fine intensity of red berry fruit before the flavour opens out more and more in the mid-palate. Lasting flavour too. Versus its youth, unsurprisingly, this has lost a little of the padding that made the wine so complete only 2-3 years ago, but fear not, there’s everything here for a proper mature wine in another 5-10 years – we’re just entering the ‘intermediate’ phase with many 2010s now. Still yum!
Rebuy – Yes
