Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley Pommard 1er Cru Les Fremiers 2016
75cl / 12.5%
“The 2016 Pommard 1er Cru Les Fremiers was cropped at just 9 hectoliters per hectare, or two barrels, this vintage. It has a gentle bouquet that works up through the gears with aeration, developing lovely mineral-rich red cherry and strawberry fruit with fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite poised and focused, not a powerful or fruit-driven Pommard but brimming over with tension and poise. Excellent.”

History of Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley
Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley is a wine producer based in the village of Volnay, in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or heartland. The estate produces a range of labels predominantly based on the local mainstay, Pinot Noir, but a number of other wines from neighboring appellations, as well as other grapes (Chardonnay and Aligoté), are also made.
The Bouley’s can trace their Burgundian winegrowing roots back to the 14th Century and the modern domaine is partly composed of holdings passed down via François Bouley and son Christian Bouley (Jean-Marc Bouley’s father). Although Jean-Marc Bouley established his eponymous domaine in 1974, some of these family holdings came under his control ten years later.
The estate now covers over eight hectares (21 acres) with vines predominantly in and around Volnay. Holdings include the premier cru Carelles, Les Caillerets, Clos-des-Chênes and En Lormeau as well as Les Reversées in Beaune and Pommard’s Frémiets and Rugiens. Village-level Volnay is also produced from plots including a holding in the Clos de la Cave immediately above the village.
Since 2012, the domaine and its winemaking has been in the hands of Jean-Marc’s son Thomas.
