{"product_id":"domaine-de-montille-pommard-1er-cru-les-rugiens-bas-library-1999","title":"Domaine de Montille, Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens-Bas (library), 1999","description":"This is mature Pommard from the vineyard Domaine de Montille treats as a grand cru in all but name. They see Rugiens-Bas, the lower part of Les Rugiens, as the best part of the site, with the mouthfeel and complexity of a grand cru, and this bottle has a quarter-century of age on it. Etienne de Montille puts Rugiens-Bas among a handful of what he calls \"Grand Premier Crus,\" and the domaine marks those wines by printing the vineyard name above the village name on the label. The name Rugiens comes from the red colour of the iron-oxide-rich clays in the soil, and today the domaine is the largest landowner in Rugiens-Bas. The 1999 was made while Etienne was co-managing with his father Hubert, who had run the domaine since 1947. That makes it a bottle from the handover years. If you want to see what serious Pommard turns into with real bottle age, this is a great place to start.","brand":"Polaner [POL]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50897276567609,"sku":"NYC-W-POL-`FDM422`-102126-83","price":529.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5792_95441004-5c53-445c-acfe-50dd54eaaabf.jpg?v=1793746078","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/domaine-de-montille-pommard-1er-cru-les-rugiens-bas-library-1999","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
