"The nose of our Pommard Premier Cru "Les Rugiens" is fine yet powerful with predominant scents of red fruit followed by very well integrated notes of smoky oak. This wine boasts lovely length, nice density and classy tannins." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"This is at once more elegant and more complex with its overtly spicy and floral-suffused aromas of both red and dark pinot fruit where pretty nuances of lilac, violet and anise emerge. There is impressive volume to the super-sleek, intense and well-detailed flavors terminate in a refreshing and bright mineral-laden finish. This is lovely though note that it is a classic Rugiens that will need extended keeping." —Burghound "The 2018 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru was picked by hand on September 5 and contains 40% whole bunch and new oak. It has a more introverted bouquet compared to the Clos des Ursulines, while the fruit feels a little darker. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins. Clean and pure with a sensual finish that is perhaps atypical for a Rugiens. Good potential." —Vinous |
