Joseph Drouhin - Pommard 1er Cru Grands Epenots 2019
"Famous Vineyard"
This is a vineyard renowned above all others! Located south of Beaune, very close to the town, the Pommard site is believed to be one of the oldest wine-growing areas on the Côte. The Pommard Grands Epenots boasts a beautiful deep ruby color. Its nose is elegant and complex: nuances of red fruits (blackcurrant, red currant, morello cherry)—a traditional expression of Pinot Noir—paired with toasty and spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with ripe, supple tannins. It has a very long finish. Cellar it for a few years; it will only get better.

About the estate:
This winery is now led by Frédéric Drouhin, supported by his sister Véronique for the wines and by his brother Philippe in the vineyards. In July 2013, it opened a wine bar in the heart of Beaune. It has found its stride and is establishing itself as a sure bet. The winery draws on a biodynamic vineyard that is particularly rich in great white wines, both in the Côte-de-Beaune and in Chablis (wines sold under the Drouhin-Vaudon label), including the famous Clos des Mouches.
