Good wine needs to be tasty young. It was austere and closed young, it still is. I never liked this producer the wines are unappealing. Don’t understand why I ever bought two vintages of this, my bad. Avoid. Neal Martin got this one wrong.

Nov 27th, 2019The 2010 Pommard Clos des Epenots 1er Cru has a detailed, mineral-driven bouquet with cranberry, strawberry, sage and oregano that develops more intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, finely balanced with a grippy and quite dense finish. This is a true Pommard, a little austere but with such freshness and tension. I can envisage this meliorating over the next decade. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2018)
