The vine

• Plot /climat

  Petits Noizons et Bas de Saussilles

• History

  Pommard, regarded as "the flower of the wines of Beaune" since the Middle Ages, has always been synonymous with powerful, aromatic wines with great aging potential. Les Petits Noizons are located upstream of the Premier Crus and rank among the finest "villages" of Pommard. The Lulune spring runs near Les Bas de Saussilles, right on the border between Pommard and Beaune.

• Soil

  Clay-silty soil with a red appearance due to the presence of iron oxide. A strong presence of dolomitic rock (limestone infused with magnesium and calcium). Most of the time, the blocks are broken down and have integrated into the marls and ferruginous clays, which are also characteristic of the Noizons soil.

The vintage

• 2024 : Saved from water. The end of winter was marked by mild temperatures and significant rainfall, allowing partial replenishment of groundwater reserves. Spring was characterized by frequent and sustained rainfall, resulting in high cryptogamic pressure and increased vineyard workload. A period of milder weather during flowering allowed early Chardonnay parcels to set fruit under favorable conditions. In contrast, cooler temperatures during flowering led to flower abortion in Pinot Noir. For the second time in ten years, the summer passed without a heatwave, easing water stress on vines with reduced vigor. These cool and humid conditions slowed maturation, with veraison only fully completed in the final days of August. An anticyclonic weather pattern established over the Côte d'Or during the second week of September, enabling the start of harvest on September 13th in excellent conditions. The white wines show aromatic precision, tension, with delicate profile. The red wines present fresh, crunchy fruit with fine tannins. The 2024 vintage is elegant and refined, offering classic Burgundy expression and strong ageing potential.
