Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens

Even smaller than Saussilles is the area that Glantenay cultivates in Les Rugiens, also on a large terroir. The plants here are around 80 years old. Impressive, isn't it? Many of his colleagues in the region would have long since replaced these vines with younger ones that produce a higher yield. Not so Thierry. For him, it's all about quality first and foremost. And what could be better for a winemaker than being allowed to coach healthy old vines in a great location? Exactly, nothing! Yes, ok, maybe winning 200 million in the lottery would be just as nice. Violet, lavender and black cherry aromas alternate with aromas of bitter, dark chocolate, perhaps Maracaibo. The wine moves across the palate with power and confidence. This Pommard is attractive beyond measure, gourmand so to speak. You quickly run the risk of succumbing to its charm! Everything about Les Rugiens is just right, including the brilliant, long and delicious finish!
