Notes of sweet spices, wild berries, licorice, loamy soil and smoke introduce the 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grand Epenots (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine, with a deep core of fruit and plenty of chewy tannin.

The 2020 Pommard Grands Epenots 1er Cru has quite an opulent, almost Volnay-like bouquet with small macerated red cherries, blood orange and light graphite scents. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, quite dense and grippy, clean fruit but for me, a little conservative on the finish compared to say, some of Jadot’s impressive Beaune Premier Crus.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
