Rugiens Rex? King of Pommard

4 Feb 2021: The leading candidate for promotion to grand cru in Pommard is Les Rugiens, the deepest and richest wine that Pommard can offer. The whole appellation is on an upswing, benefitting from global warming and the arrival of fresh blood in the village. Does the vineyard merit promotion? We can decide after tasting these six wines from some of the best known protagonists.

Wine Samples:

1. 2016 Domaine Y Clerget Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens
2. 2015 Domaine Faiveley Les Rugiens, Pommard Premier Cru
3. 2010 Pommard, Les Rugiens-bas, 1er Cru, Domaine de Montille
4. 2008 Pommard Premier Cru ‘Les Rugiens’ Michel Gaunoux
5. 2009 Domaine de Montille, Pommard Premier Cru Rugiens-Bas
