Note di degustazione
The 2019 Pommard Rugiens-Bas 1er Cru has a powerful, oaky, modern, assertive bouquet with layers of toasty black fruit. It's Pinot Noir, but does not exude "Burgundy". The palate is chewy on the entry. This is a big-boned Pommard with lavish black cherry and blueberry fruit and a modern sheen thanks to the new oak, but it just seems bereft of personality. With time in bottle it just feels a bit saccharine. Is this a dropped catch from the talented Xavier Horiot? Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

A much more restrained nose reluctantly displays cool aromas of essence of red pinot fruit where suggestions of both spice and floral elements add breadth. The super-sleek, intense and tautly muscular larger-scaled flavors exude an almost pungent minerality before terminating in a chiseled, austere and compact finale. This is a Rugiens of refinement and grace yet one that should easily repay extended cellaring. Note: from a .09 ha parcel
