The 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Les Argillières offers up an expressive bouquet of cherries, raspberries and candied peel. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with a deep, juicy core of fruit that cloaks its fine structuring tannins and a long, pure finish. This is another of the more gourmand wines in the cellar, and it's very charming this year.
