Deep savory and rooty nose plus a touch of candied oranges and coconut. Substantial, plush tannins on the medium-bodied palate that is wonderfully velvety. The power and concentration are underplayed until you reach the positively firm finish. The name is not related to beef, rather it refers to the closeness of this site to the forest above the vineyards. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Matured in used barrels. Unfiltered. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. - Stuart Pigott

(VN 90-92 points) The 2022 Pommard En Boeuf is matured in 50% new oak with 70% whole bunches. The beautiful nose is quite floral, with dried rose petals infusing the cranberry and wild strawberry fruit. Fine mineralité here. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit. There’s firm but not excessive grip - a mouth-filling Pommard with a delineated, vivid finish. Afford this 18 months in bottle to smooth those edges. -- Neal Martin
