Pommard 1er Cru Rugiens

Notes - Pommard is the first village encountered as you drive south from Beaune. Producing only red wines. Most of the vineyards are east to south-east orientation.The wine is typical of the village, being masculine, deep and tannic.Dark colour, good concentration. Dry, mineral, chalky nose (what I call "powder-dry" - not sure how to describe that). A big powerful, masculine wine, good tannins and structure. Will be a very good wine with bottle age. A wine that needs food and bottle age, but is hugely rewarding. It is ideal with red and spicy meats, game and most cheeses. The best time to drink this wine is when it is 5 years old but it is recommended to wait until it is 10 to 15 years old to obtain good maturity.
