Pommard Rugiens, Domaine de Courcel 2010

**Note: from a 1.07 ha parcel in Rugiens-Hauts**
A pure and wonderfully fresh nose features essence of red pinot fruit, stone and soil scents that complement well the intensely mineral-driven, focused and powerful flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension on the stunningly long, balanced and palate coating finish. This is a serious, compact and built to age Rugiens that is unlikely to drink well before its 10th birthday. Patience required but this beauty should be worth the wait. A classic Rugiens that combines power and grace.
