Joannes Violot-Guillemard - Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru 2020

DECANTER: „Deeply coloured and full of plummy fruit, with a mineral undercurrent on the nose, while the texture has a lovely density and a fleshy feel to it, before an expressive finish. This wine will drink young, but it certainly has the substance for ageing as well. Comes from a 0.45ha parcel of old vines in Rugiens Hauts, now entirely fermented as whole bunches."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: „The 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens unwinds in the glass to reveal notes of dark berry fruit mingled with licorice, orange rind, warm spices, loamy soil and sapid bass notes. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's a deep, seamless, sapid wine that's the most muscular and potentially long-lived cuvée in the range."
