2024 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens, Domaine Yvon Clerget

This is prolific by comparison with Thibaud making eight barrels, but then in a vintage like ’23 he made 18! Two of the eight were new and he used 25% whole bunch to slightly tone down the power and machismo of the structure which, though quite linear, is also quite significant. Thibaud has played it beautifully, allowing glimpses of its brutal intensity without allowing it to go overboard. A wine of immense potential and another vineyard that seems to have excelled in 2024!
