Makes sense to me. I never got that sense from any of the '88s we've
consumed over the past 1-2 years, but that list is mostly Volnay with a
few CdN GCs.

....in the hands of a top producer, perhaps. But, to me, no Village has
more disappointing producers in it than Pommard, especially when
constrasted with Volnay. Apart from Jadot, Drouhin(?), de Montille and
D'Angerville, I can't really think of anyone making good wine in
Pommard. I see that Nicolas Potel now makes wine there, but I haven't
seen anything about it.
