About The Wine
The Frémiers (0,79 ha) are located south of Pommard, right below the Rugiens, at the start of the slope. The red and brown soil, which is rich with both clay and limestone, is deeper (0.6-0.8m) than that of the Rugiens. A delicate nose with a touch of wild strawberries and fresh cherries. Sweet fruity flavors contrasting with a dense, well balanced and persisting intensity.
Critic Reviews
92 points, Wine Spectator
"Rose, sandalwood, licorice and wild strawberry aromas and flavors are the
hallmarks of this elegant, precise red. Though solid, this is balanced and long, with a floral and spicy aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2040."
