Tasting notes
Rich and gourmand, the 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Fremiers has gained in aromatic range since I tasted it last year, mingling aromas of wild berries and plums with hints of peonies, musk, blood orange and exotic spices. Full-bodied, layered and muscular, its velvety tannins are entirely concealed in a lavish core of fruit that's girdled by lively acids. Concluding with a long, perfumed finish, it continues to be immensely promising.

The 2018 Pommard les Fremiers 1er Cru is located just below the lieu-dit of Les Rugiens-Bas at the bottom part of the slope, on red soils. Its 43-year-old vines tend to produce small bunches. It has a well-defined bouquet with red berry fruit, dark chocolate and truffle aromas emerging from the glass. The palate is very well balanced with fine-grained, quite rigid tannins at the moment, in keeping with the Pommard style. Excellent freshness here, and a precise finish. Superb.
