Peter Maude Fine Wines
2022, Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot, POMMARD, 1er Cru, 'Rugiens'
$190
The most sought-after of Pommard vineyards - along with Clos des Epeneaux - a grand cru if ever there was a reclassification.
Glowing ruby purple. Rugiens has its own nobility. The bouquet demands extra attention, with its dark strawberry intensity, perfectly balanced acidity, supple tannins, with impressive length. An excellent Rugiens. Fine fresh acidity helps extend the finish. Very old vines here so lower yields. Planted 1901! Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted: December 2023.
