Noizons and Petit Noizons
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. Petits Noizons and Noizons are located upstream of the Premier Crus and rank among the finest “villages” of Pommard. Many walnut trees once dotted the landscape.
Soil
Clay-silty soil with a red appearance due to the presence of iron oxide. There is 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 wine
Taste
Deep red in color, the wines display aromas of ripe red fruits, liquorice, and gentle spices. In the mouth, they are powerful, warm, and complex, with structured tannins and great persistence. With age, the wine will reach its peak, revealing notes of leather and undergrowth.
Serving temperature
15/16°C. It is recommended to decant recent vintages so as to enhance the aroma.
The vintage
2022: a year of relief for winemakers. The first buds came out earlier in March due to the mild weather, and thankfully the spring frost from April 9 and 10 did not cause any damage to the buds. Spring was hot and dry, making 2022 wines what we would call a premature vintage. By the end of June, the lack of rain started to be a concern. This was shortly followed by heavy rain showers, which despite some localised hail, generated just about enough water for the rest of the summer. The heatwave put the vines under strain but the drought was less damaging than in 2020, which allowed us to harvest grapes in perfect condition. Sunshine also comes through the 2022 red vintage, with more delicate flavours than the 2020 Pinot noirs. The wines were made with little wilting on the grapes and an optimal phenolic maturation process. The phenolic composites and aromas are subtle and delicate, nurturing elegant red wines.
