Tasting notes
(made from purchased wine): Moderately saturated medium red. Complex scents of cherry, clove and minerals. Slightly medicinal but fine-grained and nicely concentrated; ripe acidity and good vinosity give this wine insinuating flavor intensity. Not at all overly extracted.

The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Epenots has a spicy, quite complex bouquet of red cherries, black plum, kirsch and hints of brown spice, quite involving and certainly a level up from the Grands Epenots. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, crisp and crunchy in the mouth with very fine Pommard expression towards the structured, masculine finish. This is a superb Pommard from Louis Jadot that should give 15-20 years of drinking pleasure, possibly more.
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.
