Domaine Cyrot-Buthiau Les Arvelets Pommard Premier Cru, France 2020 Willamette Aromas of canteloupeLike the Pommard villages there is a touch of menthol sitting atop the more floral inflected aromas of both red and black raspberry, newly turned earth and a whiff of anise character. The very supple, round and attractively vibrant medium weight flavors exude ample minerality on the lingering and balanced finale that is shaped by notably fine grained tannins. This is lovely and a wine that should improve over most of the next decade. 92 Pts Burghound
