In the glass, this Pommard Grands Epenots unveils a radiant, deep ruby hue with garnet edges, hinting at both concentration and finesse. The wine's brilliant clarity and vibrant core speak to its purity and careful vinification.
Nose:
The bouquet is captivating, with aromatic layers unfolding to reveal wild blackberry, ripe cherry, and blackcurrant, intertwined with subtle notes of violet and rose petal.

Palate:
On the palate, this Premier Cru opens with a silken texture and robust intensity, offering flavours of juicy red and black fruits-especially raspberry, cherry, and plum-woven with nuances of licorice, clove, and a touch of savoury game. The tannins are finely structured yet persistent, lending the wine remarkable balance, while vibrant acidity keeps the profile fresh and exhilarating.
Finish:
The finish is long, refined, and beautifully harmonious, echoing with lingering notes of dark fruit, mineral, and a gentle smokiness from the judicious use of oak.
