Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Pommard Les Vignots offers upfront black cherry, raspberry coulis and iodine scents on the nose, almost Volnay-like in style thanks to its precocity. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry, but there is decent structure here (as you expect with a Pommard) with grippy black fruit that segues into an elegant finish. This is a well-made Pommard les Vignots for those who relish a more fruit-driven style.

Xavier Monnot is a leading producer in Meursault whose winemaking style emphasizes purity of fruit, elegance, and complexity. Xavier can trace his mother’s ancestors, the Monniers, back to 1723, with six generations of winegrowing. Xavier took over in 1994 after completing his oenological studies and began replanting parcels with a combination of selection massale from old vines and new clones, and updated the cellar with modern equipment. Prior to the release of the 2005 vintage, the property was known as Domaine René Monnier (Xavier's grandfather). In 2005, along with improvements in the vineyard and cellar, Xavier began bottling his wines under his own label.”
