Pommard 1er cru Les Rugiens 2016

- 95 points -

If you don’t like Pommard that tastes like traditional, come-back-in-a-decade Pommard,
then you won’t appreciate this. Sourced from an old vine, 1.6-hectare parcel on rich, red clay soils and fermented with all its stems, it’s a tannic, even slightly forbidding wine that puckers the roof of your mouth right now. But be patient! This will turn into something remarkable in another decade or more.
