Armand Heitz Pommard Premier Cru Rugiens 2020 750ml

Cooler though still notably ripe aromas features those of essence of red currant and a plethora of very pretty floral and spice wisps. The rich and equally attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that exude plenty of minerality on the dusty, even chalky, but not really austere finish that goes on and on. This well-balanced effort should reward up to a decade of cellaring and is also one to consider.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world’s most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means ‘black pine’ in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.
