2017 Heitz-Lochardet - Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles

The 2017 Pommard Pezerolles 1er Cru has an intensely stemmy nose that occludes the fruit and terroir expression. For some reason, it reminds me stylistically of a Hemel-en-Aarde Pinot more than a Pommard. The medium-bodied palate shows sappy red berry fruit and fine delineation. Nicely proportioned, with a touch of white pepper on the finish. Fine, if just a little cloying. Closure is Diam 5. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
