Their values have remained unchanged over the last seven generations and are based on a deep attachment to the Bourgogne region, an instinctive passion for the terroirs, and an innate respect for man and his work. Today they are one of the largest owners in Burgundy, with holdings spreading from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise, featuring polished, collectible reds and whites with exceptionally high ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e“Rugiens”, one of the most exceptional sites in Pommard, is divided into two sections; Domaine Faiveley’s 2007 acquisition lies in “Rugiens Hauts”, the most sought-after sector. “Les Rugiens”, along with “Grands Epenots” and “Clos des Epenots”, are widely regarded as the appellation’s finest climates. This wine is the epitome of elegance and class, offering exceptional ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyards\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePlot: 0.50 ha.

Budburst began in early April, with flowering by mid June. Drier, sunnier weather in July and August supported slow, even ripening, and veraison started around mid August. Harvest took place in mild conditions, with a warm north wind in mid-September helping concentrate sugars. Overall, the vintage was defined by a long, gradual, and balanced growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe wines are punched down daily in order to extract color, tannins and aromas from the skin of the grapes. After a 19 day vatting period, the alcoholic fermentation is complete. The free-run wine is run off using a gravity system whilst the marc is pressed slowly and gently in order to extract an exceptionally pure press wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDeep ruby red hue. The nose and palate are in perfect harmony and reveal aromas of black fruits, oak and spice. The attack is powerful and underpinned by direct, velvety tannins. This wine offers good structure and aromatic persistency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Faiveley","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":67927275602029,"sku":"NEGNWPR1D323","price":299.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/DF-Pommard-1er-Cru-Les-Rugiens-00-RG.jpg?v=1793642888","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/domaine-faiveley-pommard-1er-cru-les-rugiens-2024","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
