This is (sadly) coming to an end as a cuvée chez Boillot, as it came from purchased grapes and the contract is ending. It's also super silky, with a darker fruit expression than the Clos Blanc; as usual a top example. L&S (Oct 2019)

(from equally sized parcels in both Rugiens Hauts and Bas that measure ~1 ha). A brooding and quite reserved nose grudgingly offers up pretty aromas of red and black cherry liqueur-like aromas that are cut with both spice and floral influences. There is a lovely sense of refinement to the intense and well-detailed larger-scaled flavors that brim with minerality on the powerful, serious and built-to-age finale. This too is well-worth searching out provided that you have the patience to let it slumber for at least 8 to 10 years first. Drinking range: 2033 - Rating: 93 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2020)

The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens is the last time Boillot will produce this appellation, made from purchased grapes. Offering up aromas of dark berries, cassis, baking chocolate, candied peel and licorice, the wine is medium to full-bodied, muscular and chalky, with fine depth at the core, succulent acids and a long finish. Drinking range: 2025 - 2050 Rating: 93+ William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2020)
