Pommard 'Les Noizons' 2023 - Domaine Guillaume Baduell

THE WINE

The 2023 Pommard Les Noizons from Domaine Guillaume Baduel is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir that captures the distinctive balance of power and elegance for which Pommard is renowned. Aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, violet, and subtle spice unfold alongside hints of earth, cocoa, and crushed stone. The palate is concentrated yet beautifully poised, with vibrant red and dark berry fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Layers of savory complexity emerge with air, while the vineyard’s limestone-rich soils contribute a mineral backbone that brings precision and length. Structured, harmonious, and deeply characterful, it offers a modern interpretation of Pommard that remains faithful to the appellation’s classic identity.
