Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 15
Medium red. Exhilarating high-pitched aromas of redcurrant, crushed cherry, blood orange, spices and mint. Densely packed and sweet, showing a compelling juiciness to its red fruit flavors that reminded me more of 2013--and fresher in bottle than it appeared to be from barrel last year. Finishes with silky, suave tannins and terrific slowly mounting length. This should evolve very slowly.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Oct 15
Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Pommard 1er Cru Fremiers from Louis Boillot has a touch of mint tincturing the brambly black fruit, strong tertiary notes developing in the glass and a hint of dried violet petals. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and well-judged acidity. It does not quite deliver the length, but one can appreciate the balance and purity of the fruit here. It constitutes considerate winemaking in a difficult vintage for Pommard.
