Domaine B & T Glantenay Pommard 1er Cru les Rugiens 2022
A refined expression of Pommard 1er Cru, this wine presents a lure of smoked spice and dusky dark cherry that unfolds with poise and depth, framed by a mineral seam that speaks of its iron‐rich clay origin.

From the Archive
Located next to Volnay, the terroir of Rugiens is one of most famous of Pommard with its name derived from the word "rougion" - the red of the earth. With sunny southeast exposure, this site is well protected from wind which provides the power and complexities of a well matured wine. On a surface area of just .2ha, the vines are very old, planted in 1935. Hand-harvested into small crates, yields are around 25 hL/ha. Fermentation takes place naturally in gravity fed vats with indigenous yeasts and about a 15 day maceration time. After one racking without pump, bottling is done without fining or filtration.
