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
Tasting notes
Sparkling a pretty garnet colour, the Pommard 1er Cru "Epenots" 2011 offers an attractive bouquet of blackcurrant and liquorice aromas. On tasting, it is ample and dense. Sap notes release to perfume the palate.
Food pairing
