The 2022 Louis Billard Pommard Les Noizons is a beautifully structured Pinot Noir from one of Pommard’s most respected vineyard sites. Situated on the northern side of the appellation, Les Noizons is renowned for producing wines that balance Pommard’s trademark depth and power with impressive elegance and finesse. The excellent 2022 vintage delivered exceptional ripeness and concentration, resulting in a wine of remarkable purity, structure and ageing potential.
The nose reveals black cherry, blackberry and wild raspberry alongside notes of violet, sweet spice and subtle forest floor. The palate is rich and finely textured, with layers of dark and red berry fruit supported by polished tannins and vibrant acidity. Hints of graphite, crushed stone and savoury earth add complexity, while the finish is long, powerful and beautifully balanced. The wine captures the classic character of Pommard while maintaining a refined and harmonious profile.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb Pommard that combines depth, elegance and excellent cellaring potential. Structured, complex and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with roast duck, lamb, beef fillet, game dishes and mushroom-based cuisine. Enjoy with a short decant if drinking now, or cellar through 2040–2045 as it develops greater savoury complexity, truffle notes and classic Burgundian nuance.
