Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Faiveley's 2014 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens leans more toward red than black fruit, hints of tobacco and damp earth emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with stalky red berry fruit and a noticeable trace of Japanese nori that develops toward the finish and perhaps manifests on the nose after aeration. This is an intriguing Pommard, one not without its merits. Tasted September 2017.

Good deep red. Wonderfully subtle scents of cherry, redcurrant and dried flowers. Sweet, suave, bright and juicy, displaying lovely cut to its sharply chiseled red fruit flavors. The wine's medicinal reserve suggests that it will evolve slowly in bottle.
