Rugiens-Bas is often called Pommard's Grand Cru in waiting, and Domaine de Montille — one of Burgundy's most storied estates, rooted in Volnay since the 1730s — is the largest single holder of the vineyard, with 1.02 hectares built on the red, iron-laden clay that gives the site its trademark power. The 2018, vinified with two-thirds whole clusters, shows a well-defined, complex bouquet with echoes of the domaine's Pézerolles. Medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, it carries more matière and a creamier texture than its sibling cru, closing on a precise, persistent, slightly opulent finish. Structured, savory, and unmistakably ferrous — very fine Pommard built to age.

"Once again, the wood influence is subtle though not imperceptible on the slightly cooler aromas of lavender, violet, rose petal, red and dark cherry and a whiff of plum liqueur. There is excellent volume to the solidly concentrated and intensely mineral-driven flavors that possess evident muscle and power on the firm, serious and complex finale that is also clearly built-to-age. In a word, impressive."
