1990 Pommard Grands Epenots

The sublime 1990 Pommard 1er Cru Grand Clos des Epenots is a poignant, even painful reminder of just what we're missing out on, thanks to Domaine de Courcel's heavy-handed contemporary winemaking regimen. The wine soars from the glass with a beautiful bouquet of tar, herbs, deep black fruit and burnt orange, the prelude to a supple, transparent, intense palate impression, full-bodied but elegant, even delicate in style.
