2012 Pommard Premier Cru Les Fremiers

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Pommard 1er Cru Fremiers from Louis Boillot has a touch of mint tincturing the brambly black fruit, strong tertiary notes developing in the glass and a hint of dried violet petals. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and well-judged acidity. It does not quite deliver the length, but one can appreciate the balance and purity of the fruit here. It constitutes considerate winemaking in a difficult vintage for Pommard. - Neil Martin, Okt. 2015

Allen Meadows' Burghound: An exceptionally fresh and ripe nose of red currant liqueur displays black cherry top notes as well as undertones of earth. There is fine intensity and drive to the lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that are at once powerful and serious before terminating in a moderately austere, linear and precise finish. The mouth feel is enhanced by the relatively fine-grained tannins and this is clearly built to age. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2014

Vinous: Medium red. Exhilarating high-pitched aromas of redcurrant, crushed cherry, blood orange, spices and mint. Densely packed and sweet, showing a compelling juiciness to its red fruit flavors that reminded me more of 2013--and fresher in bottle than it appeared to be from barrel last year. Finishes with silky, suave tannins and terrific slowly mounting length. This should evolve very slowly. - Stephen Tanzer, März 2015
