Domaine de Courcel is one of the historic great estates of Pommard, having remained in the same family for over 400 years. Among its exceptional Premier Cru holdings is Le Grand Clos des Epenots, one of Pommard's most celebrated vineyards, renowned for producing wines of remarkable depth, elegance and longevity. Combining traditional winemaking with meticulous vineyard management and low yields, the domaine produces beautifully structured, ageworthy Pinot Noir, with rich dark fruit, fine tannins and complex earthy and spicy notes. Le Grand Clos des Epenots is widely regarded as one of the finest expressions of Pommard, combining the appellation's characteristic power with impressive finesse and refinement.

"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. Outstanding.  Drink 2025+"  Allen Meadows, Burghound
