Red and black fruits with spice and earthy notes. A generous, structured Pommard from Domaine Lejeune with lovely aromatic persistence.
The Pommard Les Trois Follots 2023 from Domaine Lejeune is an entry point into one of Pommard's most historic and authentic domaines, whose family tradition stretches back to 1850. Dressed in a deep garnet robe, this cuvée reveals notes of small red and black fruits underscored by delicate oak. These aromas reappear on an ample, fleshy yet fresh palate, with silky tannins. A Pommard of genuine terroir, vinified in whole bunches according to the domaine's unwavering signature, embodying more than any other cuvée the sturdy and complex character of this great Côte de Beaune appellation.
Terroir and vineyard
Les Trois Follots is a parcel within the Pommard village appellation, its evocative name referring to three historically contiguous plots. Planted on the iron-rich argillaceous limestone soils characteristic of Pommard, these red earth terrains rich in iron oxides are precisely the source of the deep, tannic, structured character that sets Pommard apart from other Côte de Beaune appellations. This plain and mid-slope terroir, well exposed to the east, benefits from remarkable natural drainage and natural mineral richness that gives Pinot Noir uncommon depth and aromatic complexity. The parcel yields between 30 and 50 hectolitres per hectare depending on the vintage. After strictly manual harvest, grapes are transported in crates with minimal delay to arrive intact at the cellar. Ageing takes place in 228-litre oak barrels, renewed at 20 and 30 percent new oak. Whole-bunch vinifications and long oak ageing are the domaine's signature. The domaine has been in organic conversion since 2017 and practises biodynamics.
Tasting profile
The robe is a beautiful ruby red. The nose presents lovely aromatic complexity, led first by red fruits within a spiced framework. A structured Pommard, tannic, with notes of blackcurrant, plum, pepper and leather. The whole bunches, the domaine's absolute signature, bring floral freshness and a light peppery touch that lighten and complexify the naturally powerful tannin structure of the appellation. On the palate, a fine balance between suppleness and solidity, finishing with a long, persistent end. The attack is ample and fleshy yet fresh, with silky tannins. A wine to lay down, best from 2027 and capable of evolving gracefully over eight to ten years.
The domaine
A domaine passed down through women since 1850, managed and vinified by men. François Jullien de Pommerol, former professor at Beaune's wine school, passed away in 2017, joined in 2005 by his son-in-law Aubert Lefas, who now leads the estate. Whole-bunch vinifications and long oak ageing are their signature, particularly for Pommard, the heart of their 10 hectares, complemented by a négociant activity. The domaine has been in organic conversion since 2017 and practises biodynamics. Domaine Lejeune is a historic Burgundy estate located in the village of Pommard, recognised for its commitment to traditional viticulture and terroir expression. The wines regularly display complexity, depth and balance between fruited flavours and earthy nuance, conceived to age gracefully.
Food pairings
This Pommard Les Trois Follots pairs beautifully with beef bourguignon simmered long and slow, a rack of lamb with Provence herbs, game birds such as partridge with cabbage, grilled beef rib with wild mushrooms, or duck with cherries. It will also find fine harmony with aged cheeses such as Époisses or Soumaintrain. Decanting for 45 minutes is recommended in its youth. Served between 15 and 17 °C, it will reveal the full fruited depth, tannic structure and authenticity of a terroir Pommard signed by one of the appellation's most principled domaines.
