This is one of the few Bordeaux dry whites that improved with aeration and I ended up giving a higher score

lush and juicy cherry and smoked rhubarb on the nose

plum and salted almond

An exceptionally spicy and floral- inflected nose adds breadth in the form of both red and dark pinot fruit

I am not sure how Angelo Gaja and his team do it

Domaine Glantenay, Pommard Rugiens Brut Zero This is one of the(from a . 22 ha holding). This is also mildly reduced but it doesnt appear to be seriously so. The impressively intense and beautifully delineation middle weight plus flavors brim with minerality on the refined finish that flashes first rate length. This is perhaps not a classic Rugiens in terms of size, weight and power but on the other hand, it offers unusually good refinement in a harmonious package. Lovely stuff. 91 2026+
