Winemaker Notes

This wine is a delicate expression of Pommard. During vinification, particular care is taken to achieve a gentle extraction, highlighting red fruit with a supple and generous structure.

2023 - An year of plenitude. The 2023 spring weather was unsettled, with many storms that fortunately did not have damage on the vineyards. Thanks to a high rainfall in August, grapes were numerous and juicy. We feared that achieving perfect maturity would be a challenge because of the high volume of grapes, but the fruits finished ripening and the aromas concentrated extremely fast thanks to an unexpected heatwave that hit us at the beginning of September. It is also around that time that harvest started (on the 5th of September). Yeast did transform sugar into alcohol at a relatively slow pace, alcoholic fermentation finished in December. While tasting, we get a dominance of fruit driven aromas and a gourmet, elegant vintage. We note that 2023 is more refined than 2020 vintage for both reds and whites. What a blessed vintage!

Pommard, regarded as "the flower of the wines of Beaune" since the Middle Ages, has always been synonymous with powerful, aromatic wines with great aging potential. Les Petits Noizons are located upstream of the Premier Crus and rank among the finest "villages" of Pommard. The Lulune spring runs near Les Bas de Saussilles, right on the border between Pommard and Beaune.
