Tasting notes
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.

The 2018 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru has an expressive and well-defined bouquet with lifted floral scents, touches of chalk infusing the mixture of red/black fruit, slightly irony with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a structured entry. Quite strict and linear, this is your archetypal Pommard with an almost briny finish. Excellent.
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.
