Domaine Jean Monnier & Fils Pommard 1er Cru Argillieres 2020
Domaine Jean Monnier & Fils Pommard 1er Cru Argillieres 2020
The Les Argillieres is one of the rarer Pommard 1er Cru wines, one that Burgundy insiders regularly seek out. It sits high on the border with Beaune on soils of stony clay-rich marl and tends to give Pinot Noirs that are elegant and deeply coloured. Domaine Jean Monnier & Fils Pommard 1er Cru Argillieres 2020 was produced from old, low-yielding vines and has the intensity and concentration that this freakishly hot year brought. Powerful and robust when released, time has softened it and allowed its striking elegance and purity to come to the fore. What a wine!

Taste
Even by their standards, the Domaine Jean Monnier Pommard 1er Cru Argillieres 2020 is a seriously good red Burgundy. Very deeply coloured, the nose is an evocative mix of raspberries, red cherries, strawberries and earth. On the palate, it’s weighty and minerally, with a mix of black berry fruits that make it reminiscent of a fine Graves from Bordeaux. Weighty and juicy, it has a greater concentration of flavours than in most years, but none of the scorched quality that afflicted some of the 2020s. Enjoy this on its own or with game birds, red meats, yellow cheeses or green vegetables such as roasted artichokes.
About the Producer
Domaine Jean Monnier is one of the oldest domaines in Burgundy having been established in 1720. The current owner’s family, Nicolas Monnier, wine roots date back even further as he is a sixteenth-generation winemaker. Today the estate is comprised of 17 hectares of vines with prized parcels in Meursault, Puligny Montrachet, Volnay, Pommard and Beaune, all of which are planted primarily with old vines ranging from 25 to 60 years of age.
