Jadot Pommard 1Er Cru Les Rugiens 2017
$123.99
A vigorous, masculine wine typical of Pommard, Les Rugiens has distinct earthy notes and a powerful structure. It should be cellared for 5 years before opening and will develop favorably in the bottle for 20 to 25 years.Serve with well-spiced meats, game and strong cheeses such as Epoisses, Livarot and Pont L’Eveque.
Once again the nose is dominated by wood and strong reduction. More interesting are the dense, punchy and very serious broad-shouldered flavors that brim with minerality on the grippy and very firmly structured finale. As an aside, it’s curious how sometimes the first couple of vintages from young vines can drink like a wine from old vine fruit. Either way, this is very impressive.
