Vintage information 1999:

A very expensive release for followers of 'Burgundy'...
Little to say; despite the high yields, it was a very good year for whites and we hope (given the quantity of bottles in my cellar) one of the best for a generation in reds - unusually from both Côtes.
The wines displayed uncommon but not excessive density to match the fine acidity.
From the better producers the wines can be magnificent. Recent bottles show that the wines are a long, long way from maturity

1999 Violot-Guillemard Thierry, Pommard Les RugiensMar. 2010
Wide aromas of red berries and herbs. Initially silky, eventually velvet textured. Beautiful balance, eventually an extra flavour element comes through. This is very primary and shows very good length. A baby!
