2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens, Domaine Violot-Guillemard

2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens, Domaine Violot-Guillemard

This magnificent vineyard in Pommard is a hot contender for promotion to grand cru. It has iron-rich clay soils and is known for producing wines of robust and powerful structure. This iteration is undeniably luscious and full, with excellently controlled power. The 100% whole-bunch should make for a Rugiens that will start to drink within its first decade, rather than requiring an age to come around.

Tasting notes

This has been racked unlike the others. Clearly a bigger build here, still with some of the white pepper and spice. This has a majestic yet balanced wealth of fruit, full bodied, with a fine long finish. The various red berry fruits keep washing back. Super in this exuberant whole bunch style. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023.
