Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots 2017 - Dominique Laurent
Dominique Laurent's Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots perfectly embodies the nobility of this iconic Pommard vineyard. From a deep terroir renowned for producing powerful yet elegant Pinot Noir, it is distinguished by its dense texture, ripe and vibrant fruit, and a serious yet always elegantly crafted tannic structure. Dominique Laurent brings his signature touch: precise winemaking, careful aging in often high-quality barrels, and a constant pursuit of purity. The result is an intense, complex wine with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, and noble spices, underpinned by a discreet yet present minerality.
On the palate, Les Epenots displays remarkable depth, a velvety texture, and a beautiful tension that naturally balances the richness of the cru. The tannins are firm in their youth but soften with age, allowing the wine to develop more truffled, smoky, and slightly gamey notes. This is a Pommard of great stature, built for aging, which gains in harmony and complexity after a few years in the cellar. A wine of character, concentrated yet refined, which beautifully reflects the artisanal and exacting style of Dominique Laurent.
