Commercial Description

A father and son operation Domaine Jean-Marc and Thomas Bouley are considered by many to be one of the rising stars of the Côte de-Beaune. Within the Pommard appellation, which boasts 28 Premier Crus, Les Fremiers lies just below the famed Les Rugiens. Pommard is often associated to a stereotype of muscularity and power, but the best examples such as Les Fremiers have a more ethereal and weightless profile. This dichotomy is eloquently captured in the words of French poet Victor Hugo, who likened it to "night in combat with day."

The 2021 Les Fremiers unwinds in the glass revealing aromas of dark berries, rose petals, orange zest and exotic spices. The wine is full-bodied, supple and layered with spice and intrigue. Fremiers is a 1er cru just below the famed climat of Rugien-Bas, more structured, still elegant.

I have said this before but it bears repeating. Thomas Bouley is a first-rate young talent and I predict that you will be hearing a lot more about his wines going forward. - Burghound.
