2020 Domaine Bernard & Thierry Glantenay Pommard Les Rugiens Premier Cru

Once known only to a dedicated group of Burgundy devotees due to their reputation selling much of the production to noted perfectionists Dominique Laurent and Lalou Bize-Leroy, Domaine Thierry Glantenay now enjoys no such anonymity. Formally trained as an engineer, Thierry brings those methodical and exacting skills to his winemaking, crafting ethereal Volnay and powerful Pommard that display fantastic transparency of each specific terroir. Blessed with small parcels in the best vineyards of Volnay and Pommard, Thierry has set about a gradual process of refining and perfecting how his vines are managed, and guiding the wines through vinification with a delicate touch.

Other Reviews....
Another real success is the 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens. Exhibiting aromas of dark berries, cherries, plums, exotic spices and peonies. It's full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with a multidimensional core of fruit, lively acids and fine, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, perfumed finish.
