The Rugiens-Bas has always been among the flagships of the de Montille estate since the time of Hubert. The 2021 vintage has delivered a wine in the classic Pommard style, somewhat restrained at first but opening with time to reveal a massive earthy, smoky fruit character. The texture is formidable, with firm tannins, fresh acidity, and abundant extract. The grapes come from the domaine-owned hectare parcel planted with old vines. In 2021, two-thirds of the grapes were fermented as whole clusters before ageing in cask (one-third new). Drinking Window: 2027 - 2050. Charles Curtis 31 Oct 2022
