Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots Maison Louis Jadot 2010

The wine

To the north of Beaune, the Epenots vineyard extends across 25 hectares of 30-year-old vines. The plot is harvested by hand, the grapes are destemmed, macerated in open wood or stainless steel vats, regularly punched down, then vinified for 18 months in barrels (35% new wood). The result is a charming wine with the gentle aromas of ripe, red fruits and a delicate oakiness that blends with floral notes. Balanced and mature with superb tannins, this is an unmissable wine. To be aged for at least ten years so that its best can be revealed. Serve it with baked salmon or roast chicken.
