Description
The Pommard 1er Cru Les Bertins from Domaine Huber-Verdereau offers richness and power, yet retains a lovely earthy foundation. A Pommard with a spicy profile, characterised by aromas of ripe black fruits (plum, blackcurrant), subtle smoky notes and hints of mace (nutmeg flower). The attack is precise, the texture delightful, and the mid-palate full-bodied.
