Description

More brooding than the Grands Epenots, the 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens unfurls in the glass with a deep-pitched bouquet of cassis, black cherries, rich soil tones, peonies and dark chocolate, deftly framed by a discreet touch of oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a textural attack, muscular but velvety structuring tannins and a long, resonant and intensely sapid finish. This is a brilliant wine from Gaunoux, and one of the wines of the vintage along the Côte de Beaune this year.

Drink 2027 - 2053

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 93/100

From a .69 ha parcel.

A moderately high-toned and decidedly restrained nose derives from both the red and dark side of the fruit spectrum with its array of fresh red cherry, plum, earth and violet scents. There is fine richness to the focused, tautly muscular and mineral-driven middle-weight flavours that possess excellent depth and length on the impressively long finish. Note that moderate patience will be necessary, which should be capable of rewarding a decade-plus of bottle age.

Drink from 2032 onward
