Note di degustazione
Good ruby-red. A distinctly different expression of Pommard from the Grand Clos des Epenots, with the nose dominated by darkest berries, minerals and chocolate. Densely packed and highly concentrated but less open to inspection than the Grand Clos des Epenots; very closed in on itself but already suggests outstanding complexity. Very broad, firm tannins saturate the entire palate and the very long, rising finish leaves the tongue glistening. Classic white-soil Rugiens: already complex on the nose but in need of cellaring to gain in pliancy and expand.

Dark ruby-red. The most complex on the nose of these terrific 2015s, offering musky scents of dark raspberry, tobacco, mocha, iron, saffron and nutmeg; spicier in the early going than the Croix Noires, which is not usually the case. Displays full ripeness and a suggestion of liqueur de prunelle , offering outstanding concentration without weightiness. Big, late-arriving tannins build on the whiplash of a finish. This marne -rich soil suffered a bit from drought in 2015, according to Confuron, but the wine nonetheless demonstrates full flavor development and ripe tannins and should evolve very slowly.
