Vinous Neal Martin - 01 May 19
The 2011 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru from Comte Armand has an exquisite bouquet with refined red cherry, crushed strawberry, undergrowth and mineral scents that gather momentum with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, crisp and focused with a silver bead of acidity threaded through the energetic red and black fruit. The structure exerts a gentle grip towards the finish and the length is reassuringly persistent. Not the best Clos des Epeneaux that I have tasted, but certainly commendable. Tasted at Flint Wines Burgundy 2011 tasting.
