On the Volnay side of Pommard and one of only two Premier Crus on the eastern side of the D973.
This substantial wine has grippy tannin and a long-lived structure. The fruit aromas are a bit shy initially but open up on the palate to show red and black fruits with hints of leather, cigar leaf, and earth. The grapes are from a quarter-hectare in this premier cru just east of Grande Rue and north of Les Combes Dessus on the border with Volnay. To de-emphasise the structure, the grapes are completely destemmed for fermentation; the result is muscular but not astringent. Drink 2027-2055. 95 Points
No whole bunches are used on Clos Micot. The 2022 has a brisk purple colour, plenty of energy on the nose. Rather a lovely cherry fruit through the middle, a supple style of Pommard, with very good length. Drink from 2029-2036. 90-93 Points
