Note di degustazione
The 2000 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epéneaux has a well defined bouquet with raspberry, crushed strawberry, undergrowth and bay leaf scents. I appreciate the discreet manner in which it gains intensity with aeration, repaying those with the nous to decant this wine. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin: a well proportioned Clos des Epéneaux with a dash of spice enlivening the finish. Returning to the 2001, there is a completeness to the 2000, I find that it has matured better. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2000 and 2001 horizontal tasting.

The 2000 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux dates from a different epoch in the domaine's history, and it's a far cry from the graceful, elegantly intense wines being made at the domaine today. Notes of red-black fruit mingle with the strong signature of cedary, minty new oak, introducing a wine which is simultaneously austere and open-knit, carrying too much tannin from extraction and new oak for its own good.
Slightly cloudy, deep garnet. Mossy nose. Then sweet start on the palate – a wine that somehow tastes ‘coaxed’. But in a very successful way. Full of energy and fruit. Correct interpretation with a little more appeal than many. (JR)
