Les Épenots Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Pale garnet; medium plus intensity aromas of red cherry, currant, earth, forest flor, dried flowers, mushrooms,; dry, medium plus acid, medium minus smooth tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, pronounced intensity flavors consistent with aromas; long finish, just lovely

Very approachable. Flashy with bright fruit and oak that marry well. Opened for business, showing great length in the finish.

Big oatmeal raisin cookie on the nose. Fleshy and tight on the palate. A hint of dusty cherries.

Fruit forward with red berries and plums with a lingering anise.

Rustic, grippy, dirty and great with food

We had the 2015 Vintage on 7/6-7/24. An excellent Premier Cru from Pommard. Tannins were fine and then softened. Black cherry, raspberry and a minerality. Well balanced and medium bodied.

In search of a red pairing for the throngs of people on Thanksgiving. This red currant / raspberry number from Domaine Parwnt is ready to go and surprisingly , may be the solution . Wood fading and gaining balance.

Nice to expression of pinot

Beautiful, minerally, elegant wine. Is this the new Pommard? Seems the more recent vintages are more elegant and approachable at an earlier age. Impressive.
