The 2016 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens was broody and a little introverted on the nose, probably due to be racked sooner than some of the more expressive Volnays. The palate is crisp and taut with cranberry and redcurrant fruit, a good backbone with a nicely poised, quite feminine (for a Pommard) finish that gently caresses. This is a delightful Pommard Rugiens that should give a decade's worth of drinking pleasure.

The 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chenes exhibits aromas of cherries, cassis, dark berries and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied and nicely concentrated, this is fine-grained but firmly tannic, and it will need a bit of bottle age.
