Pommard Les Rugiens

1999 Gaunoux Francois Pommard Les Rugiens

A very, very interesting mix of herbs and complex fruits. Mouth-filling, plenty of (balanced) tannin. Now there’s a small burst of fruit flavour. Good length – I like this a lot.

Deep colour. The aromas are concentrated but a little soft-focus. In the mouth there’s warm red fruit, the tannin is not so astringent but overall I’m missing a little ‘punch’. Only ‘okay’ in this context.

Magnum. Concentrated, intense red fruit, maybe a hint reduced, edged with the ubiquity of the Pommard herbs. Very fine though astringent tannin. Lots of impact and dimension here. Super length and super concentration. If the last was an aristo, this is an entertainer!

Wide aromas of red berries and herbs. Initially silky, eventually velvet textured. Beautiful balance, eventually an extra flavour element comes through. This is very primary and shows very good length. A baby!

Medium ruby-red. Deep, slightly savoury red nose and top note of violets and just a little undertone of herbs. The palate is fresh and quite elegant, shows good acidity and a nice little burst of concentration. The finish is of the slowly fading variety. Understated rather than impressive.
