{"product_id":"2023-domaine-dalussia-pommard-village","title":"2023 Domaine d'Alussia Pommard Village","description":"\u003cp\u003ePommard has a reputation for being the \"bruiser\" of the Côte de Beaune, but in the hands of Aussie young gun Alexandra Wilson, that power is channeled into something far more sophisticated. Sourced from organic plots managed alongside Bernard Zito, this Village release marks a real shift for the domaine. Alex, drawing on her experience with Benjamin Leroux and Jane Eyre, has focused on capturing the structural weight Pommard is famous for, while ensuring the tannins remain supple and polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage was handled with a very light touch in the cellar. By moving away from heavy new oak and aggressive extraction, Alex has allowed the natural character of the iron-rich soils to speak for itself. It’s a dark-fruited, brooding style of Pinot, but it’s remarkably fresh—avoiding the rustic, blocky feel that can sometimes plague the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll find a deep aromatic profile of black plum, dark cherry, and a hint of wild spice, backed by a cool, ferrous minerality. On the palate, it’s broad and textural, with fine-grained tannins that provide plenty of grip without being harsh. It’s a serious, intellectual red that holds a lot of tension, making it great for the dinner table now or even better with a few years of cellar time to let those darker notes fully unfurl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The nose here has a little oak, more spicy and smoky, slowly even a hint of florals. This has lots of scale – indeed presence – in the mouth. The oaky bitters are present but really attractive – not so bitter!\"\u003cbr\u003e- Bill Nanson (Burgundy Report)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Domaine d'Alussia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43264616333355,"sku":"2023 Domaine d'Alussia Pommard Village","price":219.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023Domained_AlussiaPommardVillage.png?v=1775799788","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-domaine-dalussia-pommard-village","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
