Camille & Guillaume Boillot - Pommard 1er Cru "Rugiens" 2023

This Pommard Premier Cru is serious and sturdy.

Camille & Guillaume Boillot are writing their own story in the heart of Meursault, bringing together two families of wine with the vision to share the terroir with their 4 children as they cultivate a strong range of Burgundies. Beginning with just 2 plots, they purchase most of their grapes from friends to produce beauty with raw materials. Their holdings are across Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Pommard.

A solid bright purple. The nose is a bit more restrained – not really discretion but just less evolved. A sense of fruit weight and structure, a lovely mouthful of firm dark red berry fruit, fine structure based on plentiful but refined tannins, and with good persistence. One barrel made of this high class Rugiens from the upper section. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Oct 2024. 92-94 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
