Les Rugiens Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

9.7

I’m on a roll with Côte de Beaune reds lately! This 13’ Rugiens was absolutely incredible. Still brimming with youthful energy - it demanded patience, taking three hours to unfurl, but when it did, what unfolded was a wine of breathtaking purity, intensity, and drive. Dark cherries layered with musky florals and a whisper of spice mingled with a strikingly mineral core. It grew in stature across the palate, building to a finish that was both super long and fine, leaving a resonant, stony echo. Another profound lesson in weightless intensity! — a month ago

Distinctly old school nose. Described by the brewery/distillery rep as "chateau floors" as in polished with wax and honey.
Deep earthy, bass notes of the soil seem to echo in this now 40 year old Calvados. — 2 years ago
