RATINGS

92-94Stephen Tanzer

... Sappy, aromatic nose combines red raspberry, cherry and smoky minerality. ... vibrant cherry and red berry flavors given precision and lift by a firm spine of calcaire minerality. Intense, sweet and utterly suave wine with a mounting finish featuring noble tannins that reach the front teeth.

91-93Burghound.com

...Rich, sleek and polished large-scaled flavors that are shaped by slightly finer tannins as well as a markedly more evident mineral streak that runs the length of the wine...excellent intensity does a slow build from the mid-palate all the way to the explosive finish...

17.5Jancis Robinson

Savoury ...masses of vibrant fruit. Lots going on here and great brightness and focus. Seems to have the fruit, tannin and acidity proportions just right...

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.
