2021 Domaine de la Commaraine Pommard 1er Cru Clos de la Commaraine #191114197
750ml
Reviews 90-92 points Vinous "The 2021 Pommard Clos de la Commaraine is a monopole owned by the domaine due to be overlooked by a luxury hotel currently under construction. This is completely de-stemmed. Two bottles were opened as I was not happy with the first - and a good decision as the second is much fresher. Quite earthy in style, you might actually assume there are some stems in the mix. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a keen line of acidity, not amazingly complex yet cohesive and with an attractive pastille-like finish. There'll be better to come, but this is commendable for a challenging growing season. (NM)"

About Domaine de la Commaraine
This historic Domaine dates back to the 12th Century and is recognized as one of Pommard's most prestigious premiers crus. The Chateau, built in 1112, had changed hands many times before its current owners (an American couple) took over in 2017. This recent acquisition is an exciting chapter for the Estate as the new owners work toward restoring La Commaraine's great name.
This isn’t their first rodeo - owners Denise Dupre and Mark Nunelly have two other wineries in France and knew exactly what steps to take to achieve their lofty goals:
Step 1 - Hire Jean-Luc Vitoux, a former corporate lawyer and French investor, as Director to lead them on their mission;
Step 2 - Hire the famed Louis Michel Liger Belair as consulting Winemaker;
Step 3 - Extensive research of the Clos (magnetic resonances, underground mapping, and soil composition analysis) to best understand their treasured terroir; and
Step 4 - Convert to organic and biodynamic farming.
Already receiving complimentary acclaim for the inaugural 2018 vintage, they are well on their way to re-establishing La Commaraine “among the most renowned climats” of Burgundy, with their elegant and silky wines that show great refinement, depth, and superb balance (Les Grands vins de Bourgogne).
