Domaine Jean Monnier, Pommard, 1er Cru Les Fremiers
France
Sourced from the Premier Cru Les Fremiers vineyard, this wine is a pure expression of Pommard’s structured and age-worthy style. The vineyard’s limestone-rich clay soils provide an excellent foundation for Pinot Noir, yielding wines with depth, minerality, and firm tannic structure. A combination of traditional vinification and careful barrel aging enhances complexity while allowing the fruit to remain at the forefront. Extended maturation refines the wine’s texture, bringing balance between power and elegance.
