2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens, Domaine Yvon Clerget

As one would expect, this is the polar opposite of the wine above, being broader and richer and more powerful with darker, chewier fruit. Basically, it’s a very classical Pommard from arguably its best site. The tannins are very well integrated and there is 20% whole bunch, which adds a touch of floral nuance and bright freshness. The 25% new oak is easily absorbed, and the wine has the structure and intensity to live a very long life. Drink from 2029
