Description
Bright ruby-red. Deep aromas of spices, flint minerality and superripe fruit, leavened by a floral quality. Bigger and richer than the Pommards Grands Epenots, showing more smoky minerality but less easy sweetness today. A more complex, refined wine in a saline, very savory style, and long on the aftertaste.
A very pungent nose combines notes of reduction, wood and menthol. There is excellent complexity to the rich, round and relatively refined medium weight plus flavors due in part to the fine grain of the supporting tannins and balanced finish that demonstrates outstanding persistence. The mouth feel is notably finer than that of the straight Corton though there is slightly less overall depth, at least today – this of course may change as the wine ages.
