2019 Jean-Claude Boisset Pommard 1er Cru les Arvelets

Description

The 2019 Jean-Claude Boisset Pommard 1er Cru Les Arvelets is a classic expression of Burgundy’s renowned Pommard appellation, known for its rich, structured Pinot Noir wines. Sourced from the Les Arvelets vineyard, a premier cru site located on the hillside of Pommard, this wine showcases the balance between power and finesse that defines the best wines of the region.

In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby color with brilliant clarity. The nose is complex and expressive, offering aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and subtle hints of dark chocolate, intertwined with earthy notes, spice, and a touch of smoky oak. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with a beautiful depth of fruit, firm yet velvety tannins, and lively acidity that brings freshness and structure. Flavors of red fruit, subtle herbs, and a mineral-driven finish evolve, making this wine both powerful and elegant.

The 2019 vintage was aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, enhancing its texture and complexity while allowing the pure expression of the terroir to shine through. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this wine is perfect for pairing with roasted meats, duck, game, and mature cheeses.
