Tasting notes
Bouley showed me bottles—blind—of his 2018 Pommard Village, one (the cuvée that will be sold) bottled on a "flower day" according to the biodynamic calendar, the other (an experiment) bottled on a "root day." The differences were surprisingly flagrant, though both were showing well. Exhibiting aromas of red berries, spices, raw cocoa, orange rind and flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, chalky and incisive and once again reflects its origins in the cool and stony lieu-dit of Vaumuriens. While it's shut down out of the gates, this has terrific potential and numbers among the sleepers of the vintage.

The 2018 Pommard Village comes from east-facing vines high on the slope in a cool microclimate and is 100% de-stemmed. It has a well-defined bouquet that shows more precision than the Volnay Village, offering blackberry, raspberry and sous-bois aromas. The medium-bodied palate delivers sappy red fruit and a fine bead of acidity. Quite saline in the mouth, with a well-defined finish. Recommended.
