Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of raspberries, cherries, peonies, spices, orange rind, cassis, woodsmoke and espresso roast, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, its lively and concentrated core of fruit framed by rich structuring tannins, concluding with a long and sapid finish. This promises to number among the Côte de Beaune's wines of the vintage, and it will be well worth seeking out.
Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux offers a pleasant marine influence on the nose with touches of iodine and seaweed infusing the dark black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm but not austere tannins. There is good density here, the best balanced Pommard of the flight, the finish showing fine delineation, structure and typicity. This the most complete wine of the flight, although winemaker Benjamin Leroux crafted a superior wine in 2012.
Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of raspberries, cherries, peonies, spices, orange rind, cassis, woodsmoke and espresso roast, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep, and multidimensional, its lively and concentrated core of fruit framed by rich structuring tannins, concluding with a long and sapid finish. This promises to number among the Côte de Beaune's wines of the vintage, and it will be well worth seeking out.
The 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux has gained in depth and dimension with élevage and showed very well from bottle, unfurling in the glass with an expressive, youthfully fruit-driven bouquet of raspberries, cherries, candied peel and rose petals, framed by a subtle touch of new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and fleshy, with succulent acids and elegant tannins.
The 2016 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux contains 10% whole-bunch fruit. The young vines have clean and pure black cherry, red plum and lightly blueberry fruit that conveys a sense of energy. The palate is well balanced with succulent ripe black fruit, very fine tannin, a taut line of acidity but real complexity and tension from start to finish. The cuvée from older vines demonstrated more black fruit with traces of undergrowth, a little more rondeur with impressive depth and structure on the persistent, marine/oyster shell-tinged finish. This has enormous potential and may challenge the supremacy of the 2015.
the 2014 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux from Comte Armand has quite a nuanced nose with dusky red berry fruit, autumn leaves and a touch of stewed black tea. The palate is medium bodied with a fine line of acidity, nicely balanced and supple in the mouth. There is something easy-drinking and approachable about this Pommard: well-crafted and with satisfying tension. While not the greatest in recent vintages, this is still a pleasurable Pommard.
The 2012 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux from Domaine Comte Armand has more red rather than black fruit on the nose with plenty of wild blackberry and raspberry aromas coming through, though there is some new oak still to be resolved. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannin, good acidity but again, the oak still conspicuous and more expressive than the terroir at the moment.
The 2007 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux hasn't aged gracefully, and one can well understand why Benjamin Leroux latterly turned away from the use of new oak, given how unfortunate its results have been for the wines he produced during this period of his career. Offering up planky aromas of caramel, vanilla pod and coconut mingled with desiccated fruit, it's medium-bodied, drying and astringent, lacking plenitude, concentration and finesse.
The 2006 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux dramatically reflects the significance of old vines (and perhaps also of location within the Clos). This smells like an intensely aromatic and rich fruitcake, featuring dried berries, purple plum, brown spices, and citrus oil (all with a distillate-like high toned shadow), accompanied by a roasted richness of red meat and suggestions of caramel. Gently low in acidity yet at the same time suffused with dense, fine-grained tannin; it finishes with a rather sombre amalgamation of blackberry, plum, peat, beef, and stone, but also a saliva-inducing savour. Typically for this cuvee, a portion of the wine displayed a more gamey aura – possibly merely a function of reduction – but that was nicely restrained and intriguingly complex in the assemblage. And whereas the premier cru Pommard received around one-quarter new wood (prior to its first racking), this got 50%, of which no portion evinces any overt trace.

La région viticole française de Bourgogne est peut-être petite en taille, mais son influence est énorme dans le monde du vin. La complexité de la Bourgogne peut effrayer même un professionnel du vin chevronné, mais n'ayez crainte : la région est aussi compliquée que vous le souhaitez. Certes, on y trouve certains des vins les plus chers de l'univers connu, mais on y trouve aussi des vins savoureux et abordables.

Principaux raisins :

Le pinot noir est originaire de Bourgogne et ces vignes couvrent 34 % de la région, représentant 29 % de la production totale de vin. Ce raisin rouge s'accommode très bien des sols calcaires et argileux, ce qui contribue à sa complexité. Les vins de pinot noir de Bourgogne ont une couleur qui va de la cerise à la brique, sont légers et présentent généralement des arômes de fruits rouges et d'épices. Le gamay est un raisin rouge également cultivé en Bourgogne, mais il ne représente que 10 % des vignes.

Le chardonnay est le premier cépage des vins blancs de Bourgogne, avec 48 % de l'encépagement et 68 % de la production. Le chardonnay apprécie le sol marneux de la Bourgogne, qui lui confère de délicats arômes floraux, fruités et minéraux, ainsi que des saveurs corsées. L'aligoté est le deuxième cépage blanc, avec 6 % de la production. {En savoir plus sur l'ancien cépage aligoté en Bourgogne.}

La région produit un vin mousseux appelé Crémant de Bourgogne. Il peut être élaboré à partir de chardonnay, de pinot noir, de pinot gris, d'aligoté, de gamay, de sacy et de melon. Les variétés comprennent le blanc, le blanc de blancs, le blanc de noirs et le rosé.

Pommard is a village located in the Côte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy, France. The village is known for producing some of the most robust and full-bodied red wines in the region. Pommard wines are made from Pinot Noir grapes, which are grown on the slopes of the Côte d'Or.

The history of winemaking in Pommard dates back to the Roman era, when the area was known for producing high-quality wines. The village was also a popular destination for pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela, who would stop in Pommard to rest and enjoy the local wines.

Today, Pommard is home to some of the most prestigious wineries in Burgundy, including Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Comte Armand, and Domaine de Courcel. These wineries are known for their traditional winemaking techniques, which involve hand-harvesting the grapes and fermenting them in oak barrels.

Pommard wines are known for their deep ruby color and complex aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and earthy notes. On the palate, these wines are full-bodied and tannic, with flavors of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of minerality. Pommard wines are best enjoyed with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, stews, and strong cheeses.

Overall, Pommard is a must-visit destination for wine lovers who appreciate bold and complex red wines. The village's rich history and traditional winemaking techniques have helped to establish Pommard as one of the premier wine regions in Burgundy.
