The nose opens with dark cherry, wild berry, violet, forest floor and subtle spice, gradually revealing more savory and mineral nuances with time in the glass.\n\nOn the palate, Les Rugiens is known for its concentration, firm tannic frame and impressive length, balanced by ripe fruit and an underlying freshness. The 2020 vintage should offer both immediate appeal and the backbone for graceful development over many years, with the best bottles likely gaining complexity over a decade or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLes Rugiens is one of Pommard’s most famous Premier Cru sites, prized for its stony, iron-rich soils that bring power, structure and depth to the wines.
