The 2022 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru includes 30% whole bunches. It has a well-defined, mineral-driven bouquet - the most complex and complete amongst Glantenay's range. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, beautifully balanced with a lovely texture. Very fresh and surfeit with minerals, this is very detailed on the finish and feels very long. This has immense promise - a Pommard to hunt down.

Deep and layered, Glantenay's 2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens unfurls in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, spices and licorice. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a lively core of fruit that's framed by an abundance of sweet, powdery tannins, it concludes with a long, aromatic finish.

Planted in 1935. 4 barrels from 5 ouvrées in 2022, unheard of for them. One third whole bunch. A fine mid purple. The power is really well balanced here, nothing overtly opulent. Waiting for the nose to settle down, there is a greener touch here. Lovely texture in the mouth, good acidity, a very detailed wine of great promise. Tasted Oct 2023.
