Tasting notes
(from the same source as the Epenots): A bit darker red than the Epenots. Much more subdued on the nose, offering hints of dark cherry and licorice. At once dense and vinous, projecting more fruit sweetness and oak influence on the palate. Deeper and more tannic than the Epenots, which is more accessible today and will probably drink earlier.

The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Grands Epenots offers appealing raspberry, cranberry and redcurrant scents on the nose, initially muted but quickly gaining vigor in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, orange rind and a touch of brown spice, gently fanning out towards the finish but never fully letting go. It does feel a little "rigid" at the moment, but it should mellow with 4-5 years in bottle.
Tank sample. Bright garnet. Intense nose. Rather heady. Transparent and even a little soft for the appellation. Though the slightly grating tannins creep up on the finish. Pretty powerful on the end. Great peacock’s tail finish. (JR)

About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
