Medium to full-bodied, it has a smooth, velvety texture with lively acidity and fine tannins. The wine's saline finish adds complexity, and its balanced structure suggests excellent aging potential. This Pommard is crafted from vines with a south-southeast exposure and clay-limestone soils, located in the heart of the prestigious Grands Epenots vineyard.

The 2022 Pommard 1er Cru Grands Epenots is one of the more sensual, demonstrative wines in the cellar, revealing aromas of cherries, berries and plums mingled with spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, suave and enveloping, it's supple and seamless, with lively acids, fine tannins and a saline finish.

David Rebourgeon directs this eight-hectare Pommard domaine that continues to fly somewhat under the radar. Plowed soils and minimal chemical treatments are the order of the day in the vineyards; some parcels even see a permanent cover crop and treatments with a backpack spray. In the cuverie and cellars, the grapes are entirely destemmed, seeing a classical maceration emphasizing gentle extraction. Élevage lasts for 14 to 18 months in modest percentages of new oak. The result is elegant and beautifully balanced wines that display excellent textural finesse and which might justly be described as understated—even slightly old-fashioned—in style. This is an address that will delight Burgundy purists and which also happens to offer keen value.

Les Grands Epenots occupy a central and privileged position in the heart of the area.
South-southeast exposure, shallow stony soils on a draining slope, give it a stature that many consider to be that of a grand cru.

Powerful, mellow, opulent, this wine knows how to be splendid. Complex and liquorice aromas share the bouquet with vanilla or grilled nuances.

The Grands Epenots vineyard was acquired at the very beginning of the 19th century. Shared several times between families, it is attached to the Clos de Cîteaux.

This magnificent Tête de Cuvée offers us wines renowned for their finesse, their mellowness, and their great breed.
