From the esteemed Côte de Beaune region, the Pommard Premier Cru "Les Rugiens" offers a bold expression of Pinot Noir. The 40-year-old vines thrive in red clay and limestone soils, rich in iron ore, giving the wine its distinctive character. Hand-picked grapes undergo traditional fermentation in open vats, followed by 10-12 months of aging in French oak barrels (35% new) from Louis Latour’s cooperage. Known for its fuller body, structured tannins, and expansive palate, this wine contrasts the elegance of neighboring Volnay. Perfect with game meats, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses, it showcases the depth and power of Pommard.
