Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 29 Dec 17
The 2016 Pommard 1er Cru les Epenots displays more red fruit on the nose compared to the Pezerolles, Morello cherries and ripe strawberries, something almost summery evoked by the aromatics. Again, this is very well defined. The palate is well balanced and sturdy, with “serious tannins” as Jean-Pierre Charlot put it, more harmonious and persistent than the Pezerolles. This has great potential, maybe more than 2015 although just two barrels were produced.
