2022 Domaine de la Courcel Pommard Premier Cru Rugiens

The 2022 Domaine de la Courcel Pommard Premier Cru Rugiens is an exceptional Premier Cru Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir grown in one of Pommard's most revered vineyard sites. Renowned for its power, structure and remarkable ageing potential, this wine reflects the depth and character of the celebrated Rugiens terroir. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and blackberry, complemented by notes of violet, forest floor, baking spice and finely integrated French oak.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully concentrated texture, delivering flavours of black cherry, plum and redcurrant layered with hints of cedar, earthy spice and mineral complexity. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, combining impressive structure with remarkable elegance.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru Burgundy for lovers of fine Pinot Noir seeking power, finesse and authentic Côte de Beaune character. Enjoy after a gentle decant or cellar confidently over the next 12–20 years. Ideal with roast duck, venison, beef Wellington, mushroom risotto or mature Comté and Époisses cheese.
