youthful2018 Pommard, Clos des Epeneaux, 1er Cru, Comte Armand, Burgundy

This is picked, vinified and aged in four distinct parts, based on vine age and location, although Paul feels there are eight or nine distinct terroirs in the clos. Each adds something different, and the final blend is greater than the sum of its parts, with a dense fruit perfume leading on to a palate that is at once rich and fresh, with chalky tannins and floral touches. A rather delicate and elegant expression. Drink 2027-2040.
