2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens-Bas, Domaine de Montille

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.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru has the finest bouquet of the four Pommards tasted, the 100% whole cluster seamlessly integrated into the more black than red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip on the entry, classic in style, with touches of Earl Grey infusing the finish. Cohesive and very persistent, this is an excellent and quite noble Les Rugiens.
