Bouchard Père & Fils - Pommard Rugiens Premier Cru 2019
Decanter: 93 Points
Rugiens is known for its ruddy soil, with a high percentage of iron. The 0.42ha parcel owned by Bouchard, however, is completely located in the upper part, called Rugiens-Haut, with a soil that is more white marl. As a consequence it lacks the power of wines from Rugiens Bas, but the trade-off is that it is not at all rustic and has a very elegant texture, plus a lovely red fruit expression. (Drink between 2021-2029)
Burghound: 92-94 Points
Inside Burgundy: 92-95 Points
Rich full purple. The bouquet has a freshness to it, which aids precision. Seamless gorgeous ripe fruit right across the palate, and with excellent length. Shows where it comes from (upper part), but a brilliant expression of the terroir. More in aromatic elegance than the grand cru density of the lower part.
