Reviews

James Suckling 93

This is very dark colored with lots of dried berries, olives and blackberries. Full-bodied, rich and layered. Juicy at the same time. Just before bottling. Needs four to five years to come around.

Wine Advocate 91

The 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots has turned out well, wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of dark berries, baking chocolate, spices and soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and nicely concentrated, having taken on additional depth and dimension with élevage.

Technical Details

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 Côte 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.

Food pairing

Duck confit - beef "Bourguignon" - mature cheeses

Tasting notes

The Pommard Epenots 2015, has an intense and dark ruby colour delivering a discrete nose of undergrowth and cherry. The mouth is long, with exquisite notes of mocha.
