Merchant's description

Known for its power and structure, the 'Grand Clos Des Épenots' exemplifies the robust yet refined nature of Pommard. It's full-bodied, with firm yet well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The fruit flavours are rich and concentrated, accompanied by a mineral undertone. Enjoy it now, especially with some decanting to allow the wine to open up, and it will continue to develop and gain complexity with further aging.
