2022 Pierre Girardin Pommard 1er Cru "Les Rugiens", Burgundy, FranceABOUT THIS WINE Considered one of the top 1er Crus in Pommard and all of the Cte dOr.

Limestone close to the surface of the steep slope. 30+ year old vines, 100% whole cluster, indigenous yeast, aged in barrel (40% new) for 9 months + 4 months in stainless steel, unfined and unfiltered.
