Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Pommard 2018

Domaine Jean-Marc Bouley is a prestigious winery located in the heart of Burgundy, France, with a long-standing history of winemaking that dates back to the early 14th century. In 1985, Jean-Marc Bouley took over the family winery after his father's passing. Today, the estate spans over 12 hectares and boasts vineyards in Volnay, Pommard, and Beaune. After gaining experience in Oregon and New Zealand's Felton Road, Thomas Bouley, Jean-Marc's son, assumed the winemaking responsibilities in 2006. The estate is renowned for producing wines that exhibit exceptional transparency of terroir, purity, and fruit density, harmonizing the traditional Burgundy wine style with the New World wine style. The winery follows a philosophy of honouring the terroir by allowing it to express itself fully in the wines. The vineyards are meticulously tended, and the grapes are hand-picked to ensure the highest quality. The winemaking process is gentle and non-intrusive, allowing the wines to convey the unique character of the terroir. Pommard is a renowned wine village located in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, France. The village is known for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir wines in the world.

The Pommard 2018 vintage produced by Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley is an outstanding example of the winery's commitment to their winemaking philosophy and the unique character of the Pommard terroir. The wine is crafted using traditional techniques, allowing the distinct personality of the terroir to shine through in the final product. The grapes are carefully handpicked and undergo a meticulous selection process before fermentation in open vats. The wine is then aged for 12 months in oak barrels. This vintage boasts a beautiful deep colour and exhibits fragrant aromas of both red and dark fruits such as cherries, blackberries, and blackcurrants. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with a strong tannic structure that suggests a long aging potential. The wine is multi-layered and complex, with rich flavours of ripe fruits, subtle spices, and a hint of oak. The wine finishes with a long, satisfying aftertaste that lingers on the palate, making it a memorable experience.
