DOMAINE DE COURCEL

Pommard 1er cru Grand Clos des Epenots 2016

- 95 points -

It’s always interesting to compare this with the similarly named Clos des Epeneaux from
Domaine Comte Armand, which is silkier and more open-knit. This is another wine that
makes no concessions to youthful drinkability, but will age well based on the evidence of
previous vintages. Yes, it’s tannic and chewy, but the fruit beneath the carapace is rich,
vibrant and alive.
