Dom. de Courcel Pommard 'Grand Clos des Epenots' 2015

De Courcel is one of the Côte de Beaune’s grandest estates, having been in the ownership pf the de Courcel family since the late 17th century. The estate is skilfully managed by Yves Confuron from Vosne Romanée. He prefers to pick late, allowing him to vinify with whole bunches and age his wines a little longer in cask before bottling, which he feels provides an added layer of texture to the wines.

Deep dark wild forest fruit aromas. This is a wonderfully concentrated yet balanced wine. Masses of black fruits, with hints of liquorice, spice and treacle toffee. A composed and textured wine, with real power and weight on the finish. This has the potential for serious long term ageing.
