Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots 2017

What kind of wine it is

The Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots by Jean Gagnerot is a still red wine that expresses the character of Pinot Noir with utmost elegance. Visually, it displays a bright ruby red hue, which anticipates a structured and complex aromatic profile. The bouquet opens with delicate floral aromas, then gives way to clear notes of wild berries. On the palate, the sip is refined and balanced, offering a deep and satisfying tasting experience. To fully appreciate its evolution in the glass, it is recommended to decant for about an hour.

Where it comes from

This wine is produced in the heart of Burgundy, specifically within the area of Pommard. The grapes come from the renowned Les Grands Epenots vineyard, whose soil and climate characteristics define the wine’s profound identity. The recognition as Pommard Premier Cru attests to the extraordinary vocation of this particular plot, historically dedicated to the cultivation of Pinot Noir. The influence of the soil is directly reflected in the finesse of the structure and the aromatic persistence, outlining a distinctive and well-defined territorial profile.

How it is produced

The vinification process aims to enhance the primary qualities of the grape variety, resulting in a wine capable of standing the test of time thanks to an ageing potential that can exceed twenty-five years. Served at a temperature between sixteen and eighteen degrees, it proves to be an excellent accompaniment to haute cuisine. Its natural freshness and smooth tannic texture pair perfectly with game dishes or pork-based recipes. Furthermore, its solid structure harmoniously complements a carefully selected range of mature cheeses.
