Pommard 1er Cru les Rugiens

France
Burgundy
2023

From a .62 acre plot whose vines date from 1959. This parcel is located entirely in Rugiens en bas, a vineyard up for a vote on becoming Grand Cru. Jean-Pierre says that there is really no point to make it Grand Cru, however; "if it becomes Grand Cru, it is still the same wine in the bottle, you just pay more!"

95 points
"Tart cherry, strawberry and floral flavors highlight this supple red. There’s plenty of flesh to offset its structure, but overall this displays a sense of elegance and excellent balance, with a long, iron-tinged aftertaste to cap it all. Shows terrific intensity and aging potential."
