Courcel Pommard Grand Clos Des Epenots 1er Cru 2010 (750ML)

93 BH / 92 VM / 90 WS

A beautifully layered nose of purple fruit, violets and soil tones leads to exceptionally rich, velvety and sappy medium weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the very firm but not hard tannic spine on the dusty and mocha-infused finish. This is a highly complex and robust but reasonably refined and well-balanced Epenots that is built for the long haul. 2025+ Allen Meadows - Burghound - Outstanding

The 2010 Pommard Clos des Epenots 1er Cru has a detailed, mineral-driven bouquet with cranberry, strawberry, sage and oregano that develops more intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, finely balanced with a grippy and quite dense finish. This is a true Pommard, a little austere but with such freshness and tension. I can envisage this meliorating over the next decade. Neal Martin - Vinous Media

Ripe and juicy, featuring black cherry, black currant and wet earth aromas and flavors. Tightens up, leaving a lasting impression of sweet fruit. Minerally aftertaste. Best from 2016 through 2030. 150 cases imported. - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator
