Domaine Michel Gaunoux Pommard Rugiens 1er Cru is a prestigious red wine with a rich taste profile. On the palate, expect bold flavors of dark cherries, blackberries, and hints of earthy notes. The aroma is intense, with a mix of ripe fruits, spices, and a touch of oak. What sets this wine apart is its exceptional balance of fruitiness and complexity, making it a standout choice for wine enthusiasts.

This wine is perfect for special occasions such as elegant dinner parties, celebrations, or romantic evenings. Pair it with hearty dishes like roasted lamb, beef bourguignon, or aged cheeses to complement its robust flavors. Domaine Michel Gaunoux Pommard Rugiens 1er Cru is a sophisticated choice that will impress any wine connoisseur.

More brooding than the Grands Epenots, the 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens unfurls in the glass with a deep-pitched bouquet of cassis, black cherries, rich soil tones, peonies and dark chocolate, deftly framed by a discreet touch of oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a textural attack, muscular but velvety structuring tannins and a long, resonant and intensely sapid finish. This is a brilliant wine from Gaunoux, and one of the wines of the vintage along the Côte de Beaune this year.
The 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens has also turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with scents of plums, dark chocolate, peonies, orange rind and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's velvety and layered, balanced by lively acids and concluding with a long, mineral finish. If the domaine produced an unusually serious, concentrated Rugiens in 2017, they've produced an unusually suave, elegant Rugiens in 2018, making for a duo that it will be fascinating to compare for decades to come.

La région viticole française de Bourgogne est peut-être petite en taille, mais son influence est énorme dans le monde du vin. La complexité de la Bourgogne peut effrayer même un professionnel du vin chevronné, mais n'ayez crainte : la région est aussi compliquée que vous le souhaitez. Certes, on y trouve certains des vins les plus chers de l'univers connu, mais on y trouve aussi des vins savoureux et abordables.

Principaux raisins :

Le pinot noir est originaire de Bourgogne et ces vignes couvrent 34 % de la région, représentant 29 % de la production totale de vin. Ce raisin rouge s'accommode très bien des sols calcaires et argileux, ce qui contribue à sa complexité. Les vins de pinot noir de Bourgogne ont une couleur qui va de la cerise à la brique, sont légers et présentent généralement des arômes de fruits rouges et d'épices. Le gamay est un raisin rouge également cultivé en Bourgogne, mais il ne représente que 10 % des vignes.

Le chardonnay est le premier cépage des vins blancs de Bourgogne, avec 48 % de l'encépagement et 68 % de la production. Le chardonnay apprécie le sol marneux de la Bourgogne, qui lui confère de délicats arômes floraux, fruités et minéraux, ainsi que des saveurs corsées. L'aligoté est le deuxième cépage blanc, avec 6 % de la production. {En savoir plus sur l'ancien cépage aligoté en Bourgogne.}

La région produit un vin mousseux appelé Crémant de Bourgogne. Il peut être élaboré à partir de chardonnay, de pinot noir, de pinot gris, d'aligoté, de gamay, de sacy et de melon. Les variétés comprennent le blanc, le blanc de blancs, le blanc de noirs et le rosé.

Pommard wines are known for their deep ruby color and complex aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and earthy notes. On the palate, these wines are full-bodied and tannic, with flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of minerality.
