Two thirds whole bunch vinification and a little more new wood. There is a certain density of purple fruit in the middle and a more powerful if more backward behind. There is a depth to this not seen elsewhere in Pommard. Marvellous depth and for the long term, yet still engagingly accessible. Tasted: November 2018.

Closed, dense, serious and compact, this is Rugiens Bas for people who like their Pommard to be intense, firm and ageworthy. It's spicy, layered and ferrous, with two-thirds whole bunches adding more nuance and complexity. It's a wine that will take a while to come around
