FEATURES
The 2024 vintage in Burgundy, while challenging with spring rains and uneven flowering, ultimately delivered a classic, throwback style with modest alcohol and bright acidity, thanks to a delicate September recovery. Yields were significantly reduced, making these wines quite concentrated. Jean Marc Bouley's Pommard 1er Cru Les Fremiets is known for its atypical elegance and transparency of terroir, often showing more finesse than the usual powerful Pommard character. This particular vineyard, Les Fremiets, features red soil with large limestone rocks and old vines planted in 1971. While it's still very early for specific tasting notes on the 2024, general characteristics of Pommard 1er Cru include aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and earthy undertones, evolving into leather, chocolate, and pepper with age. The 2024 reds are anticipated to be harmonious, balanced, and red-fruited, with a lovely perfume and fine tannins, making them approachable in their youth.
🍴 This elegant red Burgundy pairs beautifully with furred or feathered game, such as roasted duck or pheasant. It also complements thick-cut beefsteak, lamb, or stewed poultry, and is a natural partner for strong, aged cheeses like Epoisses or Comté.
🥂 The 2024 Jean Marc Bouley Pommard 1er Cru Les Fremiets is a wine for the discerning collector, offering a glimpse into a promising, fresh Burgundy vintage. It's perfect for a special dinner among connoisseurs who appreciate the nuances of young, high-quality Pinot Noir, or for cellaring to enjoy its evolving complexity. 【Classic, fresh Burgundy vintage with aging potential】
