Description

Rugiens is one of the best vineyards in Pommard and Francois is lucky to have a plot with 100-year-old vines. It is no surprise then that this is an intense wine. Initially full of red and dark fruit, there is also a slightly savoury edge. It also has an incredible length that seems endless. Drink 2030-2045.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 91-93/100
Mid purple, a delicious nose, fine depth, all in red fruit while also showing the oak at the moment. Perhaps the 2022 Rugiens is a touch lighter than expected at the back, pretty rather than super-dynamic, but delicious nonetheless.Drink 2030-2036Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (December 2023)
