Four barrels from 13 ouvrées. Epenots was the Mussy vineyard in the best condition when Antoine took over. More of a magenta colour, with evident weight and some structure on the nose. Good energy with just the right acidity. Fair length. Drink from 2029-2033.
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.
