  Concentrated, black raspberry, soise boise, glassy acids. With a decant brought out red raspberry, cherry, orange blossom, maybe some fruit salad. Not a wine to be decanted into complexity - you just need to wait for 10-15 years in bottle. 95+ potential.

  Jean-Marc & Thomas Bouley (Tøyen, Oslo): Double decanted 4 hours, followed 5 hours
  
  Wow, an enormous nose of candied blueberry, rose petals, sweet spices, liqorice, a superb mineralité, sous bois and a coolness from premium vanilla jump from the glass.
  
  A lot of structure on the palate, huge concentration with great freshness to keep things far from heavy. Awesome length as well.
  
  This kept on giving through the night, should age with ease, but I absolutely loved it in its current phase.
  96++

  The Pinot Noir comes from a parcel of 0.49 hectares in Les Fremiers. It is located on a lower to medium slope with ferruginous clay and limestone on a limestone base bordering Meursault. The age of the vines is 48 years. Fermentation was in open vats for about three weeks, and aging was in barrels for 20 months. New wood content was 50%, and whole cluster content was also around 50%.
  
  Medium garnet red, slightly transparent.
  
  The 2019 Pommard 1er Cru "Les Fremiers" is a fragrant Pommard with a perfume of ripe and juicy cherries and red berries, a bit of marzipan and cookie, but equally with slight hints of undergrowth and forest floor, as well as some fresh tart fruits like cranberries.
  
  On the palate, the Pinot Noir comes across as fine-grained and silky, but tonic and fresh with ripe but absolutely crisp, lively acidity. The Pommard seems firm in structure, yet is as elegant as an expert dancer. It manages the symbiosis of earthiness and earthiness and a luminous brightness. At the same time, Thomas Bouley has made the wine fine and firm, not least due to the proportion of whole grapes, and has given it this incomparably supple tannin along the way.
