2005 Domaine Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er Cru Rugiens

Thierry is quite noticeable with his walrus mustache, a bad limp from a terrible auto accident, a beautiful wife at his side, and a sparkle in his eye. His wines are some of the most graceful and elegant of the Côte de Beaune. His parcels in Pommard, Beaune Clos des Mouches, and several Pommard Premier Crus yield wines that are quite delicate for the appellations. · This is the wine Thierry is most noted for. A superb Pommard that has not shed all of its youthful tannic backbone, but give this a couple of years and as Dick Enberg would say, “Oh, my.” Reviewed August 6, 2007
