"The 2021 Pommard Les Rugiens-Bas 1er Cru has an intense and well-defined bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry and rooibos"aromatics you would expect from a warmer vintage. You might mistake it for a Grenache! The palate is well balanced with a sapid entry, quite ripe and vivid with white pepper and thyme. It is not complex though and just misses some density on the elegant finish that improves with aeration. Early drinking but delicious early drinking. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting."
