Burghound, April 2016, Score: 93
A wonderfully elegant and slightly fresher nose is composed by notes of cool wild red berries, stone and intense floral aromas that are also trimmed in discreet wood. There is really lovely detail to the refined yet muscular and powerful medium-bodied flavors that possess plenty of minerality on the firmly structured and youthfully austere finish. This is definitely going to need at least 7 to 8 years of cellaring and should easily reward 10 to 12. Drink 2023+

Good full red Slightly reduced aromas of redcurrant and raspberry are lifted by iron and black pepper nuances Sweet and silky but also vibrant and delineated, conveying a juicy quality to the flavors of red fruits, iron and minerals This boasts terrific thickness for the year yet maintains a light touch owing to its salinity and vinosity Finishes very long and lively, still a bit tight. Drink 2025-2036

Pale crimson. Lots of sweet, gentle, expressive fruit. I tasted this immediately after de Courcel’s Rugiens and much preferred it. This lives and charms. Drink 2020-2034

Region
Pommard
A long popular appellation, Pommard is yet another exclusive red wine area which produces by far the most structured reds of the Côte de Beaune. It extracts rich body and long ageing potential from the limestone/iron-rich clay soil. Some examples can be markedly rustic, yet as time has passed and winemaking know-how has improved, Pommard's wines are becoming softer and more approachable when young. Its vines cover 317 hectares of which over a third are premier cru vineyards. Several have pronounced following and even one, Les Rugiens, is being pushed to become a grand cru.
