Importer, Euan’s story of discovering this 5th generation Domaine is one of Serendipity. After too many stays in bland hotels visiting Burgundy a local suggested staying at Thierry and Estelle’s B&B. Eventually, the question was raised “When are you going to try our wines?” Well Euan’s reaction was the same as mine after my first taste, a set of 2016 & 2017 Premier Crus: Rugien, Epenots, Platière, Derrière Clos St Jean … How much can I have? The wines are delicious. Divine perfumes and stunning tannin’s that are fine, plush and beautifully played. Great harmony across the full set of wines.
Vineyards back to 1936 go some way to explaining the quality. As is always the case with wine, there is nothing like the wisdom that only time can bring to help a vigneron raise wines of such personality!
There is often a misconception that wines from Pommard are brutish, structured and will need decades to even be approachable. Like most things in life, mass generalisation does no one any favours. Thierry’s wines drink beautifully as a young Burgundy, as always the metamorphisis that occurs with great Burgundy requires patience.
Thierry’s wines are a celebration of the diversity of terroirs across Pommard and their expressions. Wonderful drinking all with unique personalities of their own.
What strikes me is how clearly the quality of fruit has raised the base level of quality from year to year!
