Tasting notes
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.

About this wine
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.
