Xavier Monnot Pommard Les Vignots 2017

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.

Pommard Les Vignots is a lieu-dit that sits on the upper slope of the combe behind the village of Pommard. This south-facing climate gives wines with typical Pommard power while its elevation of over 300 meters lends high-toned aromas and finesse. 

Lifted bouquet with vibrant red berry fruit laced with blueberry and a touch of ink. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, fine tannin, crisp acidity and a harmonious, silky finish.
