2022 Domaine Bernard & Thierry Glantenay Pommard Les Rugiens Premier Cru

Once known only to a dedicated group of Burgundy devotees due to their reputation selling much of the production to noted perfectionists Dominique Laurent and Lalou Bize-Leroy, Domaine Thierry Glantenay now enjoys no such anonymity. Formally trained as an engineer, Thierry brings those methodical and exacting skills to his winemaking, crafting ethereal Volnay and powerful Pommard that display fantastic transparency of each specific terroir. Blessed with small parcels in the best vineyards of Volnay and Pommard, Thierry has set about a gradual process of refining and perfecting how his vines are managed, and guiding the wines through vinification with a delicate touch.

Deep and layered, Glantenay's 2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens unfurls in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, spices and licorice. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a lively core of fruit that's framed by an abundance of sweet, powdery tannins, it concludes with a long, aromatic finish.

The 2022 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru includes 30% whole bunches. It has a well-defined, mineral-driven bouquet - the most complex and complete amongst Glantenay's range. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, beautifully balanced with a lovely texture. Very fresh and surfeit with minerals, this is very detailed on the finish and feels very long. This has immense promise - a Pommard to hunt down. Drink 2026-2048.
