Note di degustazione
(the first vintage for Rugiens from Marchand-Tawse, from 60- and 25-year-old vines on the middle of the hillside; vinified with 30% whole clusters): Good dark red. Highly aromatic scents of redcurrant, pomegranate and orange zest are complicated by a suggestion of white fruits. Boasts terrific intensity and clarity to its complex flavors of red berries, flowers and salty minerals. Not a fleshy style but animated, precise and very long, with fine-grained tannins that dust the front teeth. Stands out for its energy and light touch.

The 2016 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens is another debut from Marchand-Tawse. Despite the reduction on the nose there is ample red fruit underneath. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, a pleasant confit-like middle with the 30% whole cluster lending fine structure on the finish. Excellent—this is one of their best reds this year.
