Unwinding in the glass with a rich and complex bouquet of cherries, berries and plums mingled with violets, dried flowers and coniferous forest floor, the 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots is medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with a fleshy, concentrated core of fruit underpinned by an elegantly muscular chassis of powdery structuring tannin and succulent balancing acids. This is a suave, refined Grands Epenots despite the vintage.
