  "Joannès Violot-Guillemard describes his 0.45 hectares of Rugiens as 'Rugiens-Haut, but next to Rugiens-Bas'. It is the only parcel planted against the slope; one-third of the grapes are now trained on stakes (echalas) and grown without trimming. The rest is classically trained. The vines have given a superb result in 2022, with expressive ripe cherry and pomegranate wine and a texture that is silky and supple but very persistent. There is not a lot of colour, but there is huge potential here. This wine should be ready to drink fairly soon after release and will undoubtedly last for decades — impressive wine."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens is excellent, wafting from the glass with aromas of plums and raspberries mingled with exotic spices, orange zest and petals. Medium to full-bodied, rich and velvety, its textural attack segues into an unctuous core of fruit, concluding with a long, expansive finish."

  "An even spicier if moderately timid nose reluctantly offers up its perfumed aromas of plum, black raspberry and a whiff of rose petal. I very much like the sense of underlying tension to the relatively refined middleweight flavors that possess very good mid-palate volume as well as good depth and persistence on the youthfully austere finale. This intensely mineral-driven effort is excellent though like all competent examples of Rugiens, it’s definitely built for extended keeping."
