Domaine de Montille is the biggest vineyard owner within the premier cru ‘Les Rugiens-Bas’ with two parcels that combined have a total vineyard area of 1.02 hectares. The quality of the clay and the presence of iron in the soil give this site a distinct character that stands out in the Côte de Beaune. 2011 was described as a ‘beautiful vintage’ by the domaine, as the alcohol levels were relatively low, but the acidity was high, without overpowering the wines.

Vinous
The 2011 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru feels clean and pure on the nose, elegant rather than powerful with brambly red berry fruit, undergrowth, chestnut and sage developing with time. The palate is medium-bodied, clean raspberry and wild strawberry with fine tannin all the way to the finish, especially for a Pommard. It fans out with confidence at the end, completing an accomplished Les Rugiens. Tasted at Flint Wines Burgundy 2011 tasting.Neal Martin1st May 2019
