Critical Recognition
- 94 Points - James Suckling: This is an elegant and ethereal Pommard, yet it’s concentrated, packing in aromas and flavors of wild raspberries, cranberries, lavender, orange peel and cloves. It’s medium-bodied, brimming with red fruit and framed by very fine tannins. Delicious already, but better from 2025.
Highlights
- 100% Pinot Noir sourced from Les Petits Noizons, a highly regarded, high-altitude lieu-dit situated on the steep, upper slopes of northern Pommard. Bottled under the Vigne Comte de Chapelle label.
- The vineyard's shallow, rocky clay-limestone soils naturally limit yields and impart a distinct mineral tension, resulting in a significantly more elegant and precise style than wines from lower Pommard.
- Sourced from mature Vieilles Vignes (old vines), which provide natural flavor concentration, pure fruit intensity, and textural depth without requiring heavy extraction.
- Vinified according to Jean-Marie Fourrier’s strict low-intervention philosophy: 100% destemmed, fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, and extracted very gently through precise punch-downs.
- Aged carefully in roughly 20% new French oak for 12 to 16 months, ensuring the pristine aromatics, structural clarity, and transparency of the generous 2022 vintage are perfectly preserved.
Tasting Notes
Pours a brilliant, transparent ruby core with a pale rim. The nose is highly lifted and pure, offering an inviting array of wild red cherry and dark berries, underscored by a pronounced iron minerality, earthy forest floor, and a touch of peppery licorice. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and beautifully focused, prioritizing elegance over raw muscularity. The pure fruit is vibrant and tense, supported by impeccably polished, fine-grained tannins and a streak of fresh acidity that carries through to a precise, savory, and mouth-watering finish.
Serving Suggestion
- Temperature: Serve slightly chilled at 15–16°C (59–61°F) in large Burgundy bowls to enhance the wine's delicate, lifted perfume.
- Decanting: Minimal aeration required; simply open 30 to 45 minutes before serving. Pairs wonderfully with roast duck, pan-seared lamb chops, or a wild mushroom risotto. Drink from 2026 through 2038.
