Pierre Girardin Pommard 1Er Grands Epenots 2020

Along with Rugiens, Les Grands Epenots is considered the best Premier Cru in Pommard and the soil here is slightly richer than Petits Epenots, with high levels of iron. Average vine age in these plots is over 50 years old, and the wine is fermented with 100% whole cluster before aging in barrel (30% new) for 12 months plus four months in stainless steel.

The Pierre Vincent Girardin Grands Epenots Pommard 1er Cru 2020 is a stunning representation of the renowned terroir of Burgundy, France. In this vintage, the winery has once again crafted a wine that is both powerful and elegant. On the nose, aromas of ripe black cherries, wild berries, and subtle hints of spice tantalize the senses. The wine has a deep ruby color, with a slight purple hue indicating its youth. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with silky tannins and a well-balanced acidity. Flavors of dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, are complemented by notes of earth and a touch of oak. This wine has a long, lingering finish, making it a perfect pairing for rich dishes like beef bourguignon or roasted duck. Domaine Pierre-Vincent Girardin has truly captured the essence of Pommard in this impressive 1er Cru.
