In 2010, the Pommard 1er cru Rugiens from Domaine de Montille expresses a remarkable tension that is now beginning to meld with elegance. This preserved freshness carries a lithe substance where black cherry and a touch of sweet pepper mingle with the first accents of noble undergrowth. On the palate, the texture reveals itself to be surprisingly silky, stretching the tannins toward a finish of great persistence, ideal for continuing to evolve serenely in the cellar.
