Tasting notes
Our Pommard Premier Cru << Epenots >> 2013 has a deep ruby color. The
nose reveals blackcurrant, moka and spicy notes. The mouth is round and gourmet with
blackcurrant aromas. A great fullness and elegant tannins on the finish!
Description
The village of Pommard is comfortably sandwiched between the town of Beaune and the village
of Volnay. In contrast to the wines of its close neighbours, those of Pommard tend to be
fuller, more tannic and expansive in the mouth, similar to those of the Cote de Nuits. This
area was named 'Epenots', coming from 'epine' (thorn or prickle), as a result of the natural
vegetation of the area which was bush-like and thorny. The << Epenots >> is solid and firm in
its youth and needs time to mature and mellow out before revealing its full glory.
