2020 Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot Pommard 1er Cru "Les Jarollières", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THE WINE
A well-situated premier cru, bordering Volnay and Les Rugiens-Bas, one of Pommard’s finest sites. The vines were planted between 1929 and 1945. After a strict sorting of the grapes, the clusters are 100% de-stemmed and undergo a vatting period from 18-21 days. Cold pre-fermentation maceration takes place in tank for 6-8 days without manipulation. A few pumpovers are made during fermentation. 13 months of aging takes place in oak barrels, 30% of which are new.
