The 2013 Pommard 1er Cru les Rugiens has quite a lively, vivacious bouquet compared to the Volnay Caillerets at the moment: nicely defined with good minerality. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, succulent tannins, plenty of cranberry and blackberry fruit with a rustic, spicy, chewy finish that lacks a little persistence. Otherwise this will be fine once it is in bottle.
