2015 Albert Bichot Domaine du Pavillon Pommard Les Rugiens Premier Cru [Future Arrival]

Pro Reviews

Vinous Media (VM)

The 2015 Pommard Les Rugiens 1er Cru did not impress out of barrel, but it sure makes amends in bottle. It has a very fruit-forward, almost Volnay-like bouquet of plush red cherry and strawberry fruit, quite glossy and missing some Pommard character. The palate is well balanced with a sorbet-fresh entry, and quite minerally, with a lovely grainy texture. There is disarming purity toward the long finish, which is where the Pommard character almost belatedly shows through. Superb. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
