Like the Volnay Taillepieds, this is one of the smaller cuvées in the Buffet stable. It comes from the upper part of the vineyard, and is a stylish wine with a powerful, deep, and muscular drive. Its one-hundred-year-old vines are responsible for its dense layers of complexity. Unlike some of the Volnay premiers crus from this domaine, this wine will need some time, so tuck it away for a few years.
The 2020 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru comes from nearly century old vines that still produced up to 40hl/ha. It has a very harmonious bouquet with earthy red fruit, loamy, lovely graphite scents that emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, very saline in the mouth, quite pure with a structured, marine-influenced finish. Excellent.
