Pommard Grand Clos des Epenots 2017 Domaine de Courcel

Avis professionnels

BOW (8.25)

Burghound (92)

A more complex nose speaks of red cherry, plum liqueur dark currant, earth and a whisper of old leather. As one would reasonably expect there is both better volume and concentration to the strikingly rich big-bodied flavors that deliver very fine length and depth on the distinctly firm and overtly tannic finish. To describe this as an atypical 2017 would be an understatement as I can count on one hand the number of wines from this vintage where I have suggested an initial drinking window of 25 years!

Jancis Robinson (16.50)

Dark crimson. Light nose and some freshness. Grainy and appetising – much more so than the Fremiers and Croix Noires. Lively and satisfying even if there is a little too much oak

Jasper Morris (91)

Deep rich red black. Sumptuous wine, quite chocolatey, not aggressive, good weight and length. Quite low acid, soft and succulent
