Bouchard Père & Fils : Pommard 1er cru "Rugiens" Domaine 2019

Rugiens is known for its ruddy, iron-rich soils. The 0.42ha parcel owned by Bouchard, however, lies entirely in the upper section, called Rugiens-Haut, with soils of whiter marl. As a result, it lacks the power of wines from Rugiens Bas, but the trade-off is that it is not at all rustic and has a very elegant texture, along with a lovely red-fruit expression.
