Joannes Violot-Guillemard - Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru 2021

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2021 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens is especially elegant and melting this year, bursting with aromas of cherries, plums and berries mingled with rose petals and baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, supple and suave, it's a seamless, delicately extracted wine with a pure, saline finish."

BURGHOUND: "An elegant, pure and airy nose reflects notes of markedly floral red pinot fruit with background nuances of herbal tea and spice elements. There is beautiful delineation to the intensely stony medium weight flavors that deliver very fine length on the balanced and complex finish. This youthfully austere effort is also quite lovely though note that it's sufficiently structured to need patience."
