Vinous (92)Bright medium red. Sexy perfume of redcurrant, dark cherry, dried herbs and spices. Spicy, juicy and very dry but shows more floral lift than the Volnay Clos des Chènes. Precise and penetrating thanks to its strong mineral energy. Finishes with noble tannins that avoid the toughness of the Clos des Chènes and slowly building, savory persistence. Bouley told me that 55% of the crop was lost to hail and that partly for this reason he destemmed all of his fruit. |

Wine Advocate (94+)The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens has also turned out very well indeed, mingling aromas of cherries and red berries with hints of licorice, forest floor and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, bright and precise, it's mineral and fine-boned, reflecting its origins in the thinner, calcareous soils of Rugiens-Hauts that have little in common with the iron-rich clays of Rugiens-Bas. Long and penetrating, it's beautifully refined. |

Vinous (90)(100% destemmed): Bright medium red. Subdued on the nose but clearly darker than the Caillerets, conveying fresh, higher-pitched aromas of black cherry, violet and licorice. This wine's sweetness and richness give it lovely early appeal. Generous on the front half but then distinctly more linear on the back end, finishing with a firm spine of tannins and a lingering redcurrant suggestion of red soil.
