Log in / Sign up Domaine Faiveley Pommard 'Les Rugiens' 1er Cru 2020
2020 is a solar vintage yet the wines show a lot of freshness and no flavours of over-ripeness. The winter was unusually warm with very little rainfall. Heavy frosts happened during spring although a very low level of humidity helped to protect the vines. After a 2nd cold period mid-May, summer was extremely dry aside from a few isolated storms (Nuits-Saint-Georges - Vougeot). The harvest started on August 19th, a historically early date and came to an end on September 1st.
Game stew, shoulder of lamb, duck confit, mature cheeses.
The nose and palate are in perfect harmony and reveal aromas of black fruits, oak and spice
The attack is powerful and underpinned by direct, velvety tannins. This wine offers good structure and aromatic persistency.
