The 2021 Domaine Jean-Marc et Thomas Bouley Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens-Hauts is a distinguished Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most revered Premier Cru vineyards. Sourced from the renowned Les Rugiens-Hauts parcel in Pommard, this wine showcases the vineyard’s reputation for producing structured, age-worthy wines with remarkable depth and mineral character. The cooler 2021 vintage brings added freshness, precision and aromatic lift to this classic Côte de Beaune expression.
The nose is elegant and complex, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry and blackcurrant alongside notes of violet, spice, forest floor and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, it is finely structured with vibrant acidity, silky tannins and concentrated red and dark berry fruit. Layers of savoury complexity and mineral detail emerge through a long, focused finish, highlighting the pedigree of this exceptional vineyard site.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Burgundy for collectors and Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking one of Pommard’s most celebrated Premier Crus. Its combination of finesse, structure and vineyard character makes it rewarding both now and with extended cellaring. Pair with roast duck, lamb, game birds or mushroom-based dishes. Enjoy with careful decanting or cellar confidently for 15–20 years as additional complexity and nuance develop.
