2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens-Bas, Domaine de Montille
Les Rugiens-Bas has long been a candidate for elevation to Grand Cru status in Pommard. There is something dark and brooding, powerful and concentrated on the nose, followed by an amazing crunchy freshness on the palate. It has brilliant energy and persistence, and substantial tannins to carry this through the cellar for many years to come.
