Broad punch of a nose; ripe black fruit. Mouthfilling richness on palate, it gains movement with superb blackberry juiciness which makes it painful not to swallow. Impressively succulent for so massive a wine. L&S (Dec 2011)

The 2010 Pommard Les Rugiens emerges from the glass with unreal length and silkiness from start to finish. The aromas and flavors are distinctly nuanced and well-articulated. Mineral notes add freshness to this silky, chiseled Pommard. This is the first vintage where Boillot's Rugiens is equal parts Rugiens-Hauts and Bas. The parcel in Rugiens-Bas is a new acquisition. Previous vintages were made just from Rugiens-Hauts. These parcels were among the last Boillot picked in 2010. Rating: 92-94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Nov 2013)
Good full, deep red. Lovely spicy lift to the aromas and flavors of redcurrant, tobacco and iron. Dense, tightly wound and classy, offering a captivating combination of juiciness and sweetness. Wonderfully perfumed in the mouth and vibrant, subtle and very long on the back end. A very refined Rugiens, made for the first time from a combination of bas and haut fruit; the vines in the lower section of this top premier cru contribute elegance, notes Boillot. A Pommard without a trace of rusticity. Rating: 94 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2013)
A markedly cool and refined nose offers up airy red berry fruit and stone scents where the latter component continues onto the highly energetic, powerful and focused medium weight plus flavors that are shaped by exceptionally firm but ripe tannins. I very much like the sense of harmony, particularly on the explosive and conspicuously long finish. One of the best examples of Rugiens from the 2010 vintage. Drinking range: 2025 - Rating: 94 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2012)

To begin with this seems almost bizarrely soft and sexy, but then the tannins kick in and the fruit bulids and intensifies. Really dense and exciting, mineral. Spicy too on the finish, and there is still a sweetness to t...(read more)
