2023, Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot, POMMARD, 1er Cru, 'Rugiens', MonopoleMid crimson purple. The nose takes a minute to emerge, a bit tough at first but with a great deal going on underneath, a wealth of harmonious deep red fruit with an interesting floral aspect. Waves of fruit cross the palate, and the tannins are much finer. Really very long indeed. 3 barrels made. Drink from 2032 2040. **** 93 95 Jasper Morris MW

very pure with a slightly richer

So much fruit and beauty

striking an expert balance between power and finesse

this lends this GPL a little more precocity and sensuality compared to other vintages

and also reductive if less than the Aligoté

The most Pauillac-like of all the Saint Juliens with a strong Cabernet Sauvignon character

Deeply concentrated yet distinctly energetic

a truffled earthiness comes through

aromatic and open

The 2022 Pommard 1er Cru La Platière offers up aromas of peonies

Medium-bodied with spice and caramel

Most importantly
