Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Pommard 1er Cru les Rugiens from Domaine de Courcel was showing evidence of brettanomyces on the nose that I find occludes the fruit profile. The palate is chewy on the entry, rather hollow and very bitter on the finish. I know that many people appreciate how de Courcel's wines can repay cellaring but I just could not get my head around this.
