Pommard 1er Cru Les Eponets

89-92/100 Burghound: Note: from both Grands and Petits in a roughly 50/50 proportion; 60% whole clusters Tasting note: Here too moderate wood surrounds the overtly floral suffused nose of earthy red and dark currant scents. There is outstanding volume and mid-palate density to the sappy substantially scaled flavors that display noticeable sweetness and warmth on the finish where the wood reemerges. This is awkward at present and the wood isn't especially well-integrated at present.93-95 Neal Martin Vinous: A blend of Les Grands and Les Petits Epenots lieux-dits, the 2019 Pommard Les Epenots 1er Cru is made with 35% whole bunches ad 50% new French oak. It has a fragrant and quite floral bouquet, wilted rose petals intertwined with red berry fruit, touches of sage in the background, later damp loam. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity, beautifully balanced with the greatest precision on the finish. Excellent.
