Pommard 1er Cru 2019 Les Epenots - Domaine Louis Latour
Maison Louis Latour
94/100 James Suckling
J.S. tasting in 2021: ‘The nose of black cherry and damp earth with hints of dried lemon peel and dried herbs is really fascinating. Then comes the compact palate, without the rusticity associated with this appellation. The finish is long, bold and very expressive. Drink from 2022.
Description
- The village of Pommard is comfortably sandwiched between the town of Beaune and the village of Volnay. In contrast to the wines of its close neighbours, those of Pommard tend to be fuller, more tannic and expansive in the mouth, similar to those of the Côte de Nuits. This area was named "Epenots", coming from "épine" (thorn or prickle), as a result of the natural vegetation of the area which was bush-like and thorny. The "Epenots" is solid and firm in its youth and needs time to mature and mellow out before revealing its full glory.
