Pommard “Les Petits Noizons” 2017 Magnum – Domaine de la Vougeraie

A refined and balanced expression of Pommard, Les Petits Noizons 2017 by Domaine de la Vougeraie reveals a Pinot Noir that combines structure, freshness and elegance, offering a more nuanced interpretation of the appellation.

Terroir & parcels

Located in the village of Pommard, the Les Petits Noizons parcel is rooted in clay-limestone soils typical of the appellation, well suited to producing wines of depth and structure. Under the guidance of Domaine de la Vougeraie, this terroir is interpreted with a focus on finesse and balance, moving away from the more robust style often associated with Pommard.

The estate follows a certified organic and biodynamic approach, with careful attention to soil health and vine balance. Partial whole-cluster fermentation is used to preserve aromatic purity and build a fine tannic structure. This philosophy results in wines that are both expressive and precise, with a strong sense of place.

The 2017 vintage in Burgundy produced harmonious, approachable and expressive red wines, marked by freshness and supple tannins. In Pommard, it delivers a wine that balances charm and structure, with an appealing combination of fruit, texture and clarity. The magnum format enhances its ageing potential, allowing for a slower and more complex evolution over time.
