The most introverted, muscular wine in the range is predictably the 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens, a promising cuvée that opens in the glass with notes of cassis, plums, sweet spices, caramelized orange rind and peonies. Medium to full-bodied, broad-shouldered and youthfully reserved, it's built around succulent acids and powdery tannins, concluding with a long finish.

A broad-shouldered, powerful wine, the 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens delivers aromas of ripe plums, orange rind, sweet spices and cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, layered and rich, with an ample core of ripe fruit and velvety structuring tannins, it's the largest-scaled wine in the range this year.

The 2016 Pommard 1er Cru les Rugiens, of which there are four barrels this vintage, has a finely tuned blackcurrant and raspberry-scented bouquet with just a soup?on of black tea and undergrowth. This is one of the most complex aromatics from the domaine. The palate is very well balanced with supple tannin, well-judged acidity, harmonious and very natural in style with a lilting, quite pure finish that perhaps just lacks the sustain of an non-problematic vintage. Still, there is much to admire about this Pommard and it will age with style. This is potentially Jean-Pierre's best wine this vintage.

The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens had a fragrant and floral bouquet, subtle at first but blossoming in the glass with wonderful mineralité and tension. The palate is underpinned by very fine tannins and perfect acidity that lends this Rugiens both elegance and a sense of symmetry. Long and tender on the finish, watch out for this beauty in bottle.

The 2014 Pommard 1er Cru les Rugiens opens wonderfully in the glass, crystalline red cherry fruit mixed with fresh strawberry and orange zest, lively and precise, real sophistication and sensuality here. The palate is crisp and fresh, very powerful with tangible mineralité and tension. It is one of the best Pommard Rugiens that I have tasted for a long time, a sense of completeness here that I am sure will be intact once in bottle.
