Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jul 18
The 2010 Pommard Grand 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.

Dark ruby. Light minerally nose. Rather dry finish – thick-skinned grapes or over-enthusiastic extraction? Or just middle-aged Pommard, more like! Wait for this grainy wine to soften. Impressive length. (JR)
