The 2017 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru has a defined, focused, sprightly bouquet that leaps from the glass: red cherries, rose petal and touches of bergamot - an absolute delight. The lightly spiced palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, well-judged acidity and a finely structured finish that lingers. Maybe a little conservative in the scheme of things, but well crafted.
Here the wood regimen is less subtle as there are notes of menthol on the airy and equally high-toned nose that is also distinctly floral. The relatively supple medium weight flavors possess both fine precision and minerality, all wrapped in a dusty, youthfully austere and built-to-age finish. Dink 2029+
