Vinous, Neal Martin
(11/2018) "The 2015 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru did not impress out of barrel, but it sure makes amends in bottle. It has a very fruit-forward, almost Volnay-like bouquet of plush red cherry and strawberry fruit, quite glossy and missing some Pommard character. The palate is well balanced with a sorbet-fresh entry, and quite minerally, with a lovely grainy texture. There is disarming purity toward the long finish, which is where the Pommard character almost belatedly shows through. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2036."

Our Score
(6/2017) This cuvée saw 20% new oak - which you'd never guess as it gives such pure fruit and earth tones. Subtle, balanced notes of light baking spice along with very ripe cherry and wild dark berry fruit, rose and roasted meat aromas add up to a complex and youthful nose. On the palate, the wine is very deep with varied earth, floral and dark red fruit flavors trying to sneak out from behind the big Pommard structure. It is chewy, as all authentic Pommard 1er Cru should be. The wine shows some tempting accessibility, but really needs time - ideally another 3-4 years - and should develop nicely over the next 8-15 and beyond.
