Allen Meadows, Burghound
(from an enormous 4.92 ha parcel with vines ranging from 50 to 65 years of age). A markedly ripe yet nicely fresh nose reflects liqueur-like aromas of plum, spice and lovely floral nuances that are trimmed in a hint of mocha. The exceptionally rich, opulent and super-suave medium-bodied flavors possess first-rate concentration before culminating in an extremely firm but not really austere finale. Even so, plenty of patience will be necessary as this will age for decades.
Le Grand Clos des Epenots is a monopoly of the Domaine. The plot of 4.89 hectares of land is located north of Pommard, at the start of the slope and is east facing. The soil, which is rich in clay and limestone, is brown and strewn with limestone rocks. The depth of the soil is around 40-60cm and its structure acts as a natural filter. The vines are ~60 years old and produce wines with aromas of red berries and also ripe white fruits such as peaches or apricots. The fine tannins are numerous and blend in nicely with the smoothness and the aromas.
To be served at 15°C.
