Marchand-Tawse Les Saussilles Pommard 1er Cru 2022

Picked late, being in a cool spot. Mostly from 90 year old vines, made with 20% whole bunches, 30% new wood. Medium crimson in colour, rather reduced on the nose. The oak adds a lactic note. There is good grip at the back, but this will take a while to show. Without the reduction this should become quite classy, and might merit an upgrade. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Dec 2023. Score – 88-91. (Jasper Morris, MW, insideburgundy.com, Jan. 2024)
