1er Cru Les Epenots

A blend of Grands and Petits Epenots, with half whole bunch and half new wood. Brisk crimson purple with a heady yet also floral nose, full of charm. Strong, firm, weighty, light menthol touch, raspberry/strawberry cusp, a little acidity very discreet tannins and fine length. Excellent! Tasted:92-94/100 Neal Martin - Vinous: "Including 50% whole bunch and new oak, the 2020 Pommard Les Epenots 1e Cru was a littl reduced on th nose, but it opened with aeration to reveal intense red fruit, cassis and a touch of violet, though the new oak will need time to assimilate. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, refined and poised, the most complex and noble of Parents Pommards with a long and silky finish. Superb."
