Benjamin Leroux Pommard Premier Cru - Rugiens Hauts 2015 / 750 ml.

Item#: 46486

RP91+91–93 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Dec 2016
The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens, the first release from the lieu-dit Rugien-Hauts, has a more opulent nose than the village cru, one that wants to make an impression on its debut, hints of kirsch filtering through the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, harmonious and focused with a mixture of red and black fruit, very refined and while not structured, offers a very feminine and caressing finish. This is a sublime and assured offering.

Where It's From

Country / France

View more wines from France

The French did not invent winemaking. They simply perfected it. For centuries, France has been producing wines that inspire poetry, awe, and wonder; wines that blur the lines between nature, craftsmanship, cuisine and art. These are the wines that inspired cultures around the globe to follow in France’s footsteps, planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, Semillon and more.

Yet as often as they are emulated, the magic of their terroirs can never be duplicated. You may taste Cabernet from around the world, but perhaps none as elegant and regal as Bordeaux. You may try Pinot Noir or Chardonnay from various climates, but none with the earth-bound soul and ethereal reach of Burgundy.

RP88+88–90+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 13th Feb 2020
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Village opens in the glass with notes of wild berries, woodsmoke, plums and spices. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, built around powdery tannins and lively acids. Leroux produced fully 32 barrels of this cuvée this year.
VN88+88–90 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2020
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Village has a perfumed bouquet with pressed rose petal scents infusing the red currant and strawberry scents, the whole-bunch addition lending a subtle pepperiness. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and quite strict and linear in style. There’s a little toughness on the finish that will need some bottle age to soften. A serious Vosne Village.

The 2018 Puligny-Montrachet Village has primal grapefruit and lemongrass bouquet that needs a little more mineral expression. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. A very textural Puligny with a crisp, fresh yet generous finish. Leroux’s decision to pick this first among all his vineyards pays dividends.
