Critical Recognition

James Suckling 95 pts
  • 95 Points - James Suckling: A fine, sleek Pommard that has notes of raspberries, wild herbs, lemon rind and tea leaves. Cool and collected for the vintage, with a medium body and silky tannins. Evolves and opens up to a long, perfumed finish with gorgeous tea flavors. Drink or hold.

Highlights

  • 100% Pinot Noir sourced from Les Saussilles, a high-altitude Premier Cru situated on the northern, Beaune side of Pommard, bottled under the Vigne Comte de Chapelle label.
  • Grown on shallow clay-limestone soils that naturally impart elegance, bright acidity, and red-fruited tension compared to the darker, more robust wines of southern Pommard.
  • Produced from a 0.5-hectare plot of mature Vieilles Vignes (old vines) planted in 1976, which naturally restrict yields and deepen flavor concentration.
  • Vinified with Fourrier's meticulous touch, utilizing approximately 20% whole-bunch clusters to enhance the structural framework and aromatic floral lift.
  • Aged carefully in roughly 20% new French oak, ensuring the delicate, herbal aromatics and precise, fresh fruit of the generous 2022 vintage are perfectly preserved.

Tasting Notes

Pours a bright, transparent ruby core with a pale rim. The nose is highly aromatic, cool, and lifted, offering an enticing array of fresh raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with savory nuances of wild herbs, tea leaves, and a touch of citrus rind. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and beautifully finessed, prioritizing elegance over Pommard's traditional muscularity. The pure fruit is perfectly framed by fine-grained, silky tannins and a spine of vibrant acidity, leading to a long, perfumed, and distinctly tea-laced finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve slightly chilled at 15–16°C (59–61°F) in large Burgundy bowls to emphasize its lifted herbal and red fruit aromatics.
  • Decanting: Minimal aeration required; simply open 30 to 45 minutes before serving. Pairs wonderfully with roast poultry, pan-seared duck breast, or a delicate wild mushroom risotto. Drink from 2026 through 2038.
