2021 Pierre Girardin Pommard Premier Cru Les Rugiens-Bas
One of Burgundy's most compelling young talents, Pierre Girardin brings remarkable precision to Les Rugiens-Bas, the celebrated Pommard Premier Cru often discussed among the Côte de Beaune's most deserving candidates for Grand Cru status. Its iron-rich, limestone-influenced terroir produces Pinot Noir of exceptional depth and structure. The 2021 reveals dark cherry, wild raspberry, violet, earthy spice, and crushed stone, framed by refined tannins and vibrant freshness. A powerful yet elegant expression of Pommard from a rising star of modern Burgundy, with exceptional potential for cellar development.
