Pommard, Les Rugiens du Bas, 1er Cru, 2023

justerini & brooks tasting note

Typically Rugiens-Bas on the palate with more structure and more complete tannic inclusion and interweaving than the Pezerolles. Darker-fruited, with touches of irony blood orange, its nigh on impossible to separate the fruit from structure here. 65% whole bunch fermentation and aged in 33% new oak. From the iron-rich "Bas" part of the vineyard considered the prime part of Rugiens. The vines are fifty-five years old.

critic reviews

92-94/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2023 Pommard Les Rugiens-Bas 1er Cru (66% whole cluster) has a perfumed bouquet with more complexity than the Les Pezerolles, blossoming nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and fresh with fine tannins. Crushed stone infuses the red fruit through a sustained and precise finish. Excellent.
