From the sector known as Les Petits Epenots, this has a wild gamey character to it. An abundance of wild hedgerow fruits, broad depth, with rich sweet tannins. Hints of Pommard power with a degree of grace alongside. A very attractive style.

The 2021 Pommard Epenots 1er Cru is more backward on the nose compared to the Village Cru. Backward and a bit surly, yet it opens nicely with engaging: sea-spray tinged black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, grippy, a little liquorice and pepperiness towards the finish. Perversely, I am more taken with the Pommard Village at the moment. Drink 2024-2030.
A rather lovely glowing purple. And the bouquet is a delight, attractively floral, for the vintage a wealth of fruit, slightly more strawberry than raspberry, some well-chosen wood is well integrated, with a long supple, almost succulent finish. Tannins enveloped by the fruit. Very well done. Little alpine strawberries at the back. Drink from 2027-2033.
A long popular appellation, Pommard is yet another exclusive red wine area which produces by far the most structured reds of the Côte de Beaune. It extracts rich body and long ageing potential from the limestone/iron-rich clay soil. Some examples can be markedly rustic, yet as time has passed and winemaking know-how has improved, Pommard's wines are becoming softer and more approachable when young. Its vines cover 317 hectares of which over a third are premier cru vineyards. Several have pronounced following and even one, Les Rugiens, is being pushed to become a grand cru.
