FAIVELEY
Pommard 1er cru Les Rugiens 2022
- 95 points -
Dark and rich with stacks of red fruit and licorice plus delicate notes of summer flowers and bark. Plenty of power, structure and concentration on the medium- to full-bodied palate, but for this appellation the ample tannins are remarkably fine. Wonderful interplay of beautifully ripe fruit and salty minerality at the long, exciting finish. From organically grown grapes. Matured in 30% new oak.
