Vinous Neal Martin - 22 Nov 22
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.
