RATINGS

90-92The Wine Advocate

...a supple, beautifully balanced wine. It reveals lovely polish as the intensity of the fruit builds towards the textured, generous finish.

90Stephen Tanzer

Round, lush and ripe, with an almost candied quality to the red fruit, fresh herb and mint flavors. Ripe acidity leavens the wine's sweetness.

89-92Burghound.com

The supple, rich and full-bodied flavors display ample minerality on the clean, pure, balanced and admirably long finish

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Pommard, Les Rugiens

Les Rugiens is really two vineyards. Les Rugiens-Hauts, or “upper,” is a 16-acre Premier Cru vineyard and Les Rugiens-Bas, or “lower,” is a 14.5-acre Premier Cur vineyard just below it. Both are in the Pommard appellation in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune, just south of the village. Since there are no Grand Crus in Pommard, the Premier Crus have special importance. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “Pommard at its best is the fullest wine made in the Cote de Beaune.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
