Neal Martin, November 2014, Score: 90
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens ‘11 has an attractive bouquet with vivacious red cherries, bergamot and cold wet stones. The palate is well defined with a crisp line of acidity. This is a lighter style of Rugiens from de Montille and though it just lacks a little persistence, it does offer fine balance and poise. Drink 2016-2027
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.
