Wine information
The Pinot Noir comes from a parcel of 0.49 hectares in Les Fremiers. It is located on a lower to medium slope with ferruginous clay and limestone on a limestone base on the border with Meursault. The age of the vines is 48 years. Fermentation took place in open vats for about three weeks, ageing over 20 months in barrels. The new wood content was 50 %, the whole cluster content also around 50 %.
Color
medium garnet red, slightly transparent
Nose
The Pommard 1er Cru »Les Fremiers« 2019 is a fragrant Pommard with a perfume of ripe and juicy cherries and red berries, a little marzipan and biscuit, but equally with light hints of undergrowth and forest floor as well as some fresh tart fruits like cranberries.
Palate
On the palate, the Pinot Noir appears fine-grained and silky, but tonic and fresh with a ripe but absolutely clear, lively acidity. The Pommard appears firm in its structure, yet is as elegant as an experienced dancer. It creates the symbiosis of earthiness and earthiness and a luminous brightness. At the same time, Thomas Bouley has made the wine fine and firm, not least due to the proportion of whole grapes, and given it this incomparably supple tannin along the way.
