Tasting Notes

93
Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 15 Oct 20
Exhibiting generous aromas of cherries, espresso roast, dark chocolate and baking spices, the 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens is medium to full-bodied, deep and elegantly muscular, with a broad-shouldered chassis of powdery tannin, lively acids and a nicely defined finish. This has turned out very well, though it will require patience.

Vinous Neal Martin - 22 Nov 22
The 2018 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru has a perfumed bouquet with red cherries and blueberry fruit, well-defined, hints of wilted violet percolating through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, quite chiselled and tensile, perhaps missing just a little complexity on the finish. There is an elegant quality here, that should see it age with panache. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2042

Ripe fresh and dried red cherries. Firm, chewy and better balanced than the Volnays. Has the classic firmness of Pommard but also the fruit to balance. But it is a flat overall. (JH)
