  • Goedhuis, December 2021

    The vineyard lies at the Pommard end of the village and shares some of its neighbour’s iron-rich soils. It is always the first parcel to be picked at the domaine, but sadly the volumes this year are minute. With intense, wild alpine fruits, this has a firmer tannic Pommard-esque core. Structured, muscular and powerful, this has great weight and will benefit from ageing to show its fine mature Pinot identity.

  • Neal Martin, December 2021, Score: 92-94

    The 2020 Volnay Les Frémiets 1er Cru is more earthier on the nose than the Village Cru and demonstrates more red fruit, touches of tobacco and Early Grey emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent red berry fruit, quite saline with a dash of white pepper towards the finish. If you don’t manage to grab the Clos des Epeneaux this year, try to get your mitts in this. Drink 2025 - 2045

  • Burghound, April 2022, Score: 90-93

    A notably ripe yet still appealing fresh nose includes notes of both red and dark raspberry, anise and just turned earth. The slightly bigger-bodied flavors possess a finer mouthfeel while delivering notably better depth on the stony and sneaky long finish where a touch of austerity slowly emerges. Good development potential here. Outstanding. Drink 2028+

  • Jasper Morris MW, January 2022

    The first to be harvested, as it always is. 13.8% alcohol. Deep fresh purple. The nose also is a little fresher, a little stricter than the earlier wines in the line-up. A crisper style of raspberry. The tannins are firmer and the oak shows a little (sample taken from a one year old barrel) but the finish is exemplary and all in balance.

Clos des Épeneaux is Pommard’s most celebrated climat. The 5.23 hectare monopole has been in the Comte Armand family since 1828. Paul Zinetti took over from Benjamin Leroux as régisseur in 2014, and is rising to every challenge at this small, characterful domaine. They also have small holdings in Volnay and Auxey Duresses and, while these wines have the distinctive character of quintessential Côte de Beaune, they are also some of the most sophisticated, nuanced expressions you might taste across these villages. An understated use of new oak matches the textured fruit, and gentle handling in combination with intuitive biodynamic practices afford these wines both strength and delicacy. The domaine has begun to noticeably outpace its neighbours and redefine how the finest terroir of Pommard is capable of not only power but elegance as well.Read less

Region

Volnay

A red wine appellation only, wines from Volnay might be considered the most revered of southern Burgundy. They have been celebrated since the 18th century for their delicacy. But they are not fruit forward like those of Beaune or Chorey Lès Beaune nor have the brooding structure of Pommard.Instead, they have superb linearity, focus and poise while sheathed in velvety tannin. This slightly reticent personality comes out even more with a bit of age, though some can be approached very young. There are no grand cru vineyards in Volnay, but there are some excellent premier cru examples including Volnay Les Champans and Volnay Les Caillerets. Chardonnay grown in the shared Santenots vineyard must be labelled as Meursault.
