Domaine Jean Marc Boillot Pommard 1er Cru "Jarollieres" 2021, 750ml

100% Pinot Noir from old vines planted between 1929 and 1945 in the Les Jarollières climat, a well-situated Premier Cru on the border with Volnay in Pommard. The vineyard sits on mid-slope clay-limestone soils rich in iron and stratified scree (grèzes litées) with east/southeast exposure. The domaine hand-harvests the grapes, which are fully destemmed. Vinification includes a cold pre-fermentation maceration followed by traditional fermentation with native yeasts. The wine is aged for around 13-16 months in French oak barrels with approximately 30% new oak.

Tasting Note:

The 2021 opens with aromas of dark cherry, black plum, raspberry, damp earth, sous-bois, and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit, firm yet ripe tannins, structured depth, vibrant acidity, and a long, earthy, mineral-driven finish. Powerful, serious, and built for long ageing.
