Domaine Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er Cru Les Arvelets 2019

Tyler Bennet — This one surprised me

9/10

Opened this for a dinner party not knowing what to expect and everyone was asking about it. Really generous fruit character without being jammy, and the acidity keeps everything in check. Went back and bought two more bottles the next week.

Ruth Banks — Solid Pommard

8/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. Proper Burgundy — well structured with good depth but not heavy or overpowering despite being 14%. Had it with a slow-cooked beef stew and it was a great match.

Hannah Brooks — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

Got this as a birthday present to myself and honestly no regrets. Really expressive on the nose, loads of ripe fruit, and it just keeps giving. The finish lingers in a really satisfying way. At £70 it's not an everyday wine but for a special occasion it's spot on.
