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.

"An unusually high-toned nose also displays a touch of wood that sets off subtle lower register notes of earth and humus that carry over to the textured and relatively supple medium weight plus flavors that possess excellent dry extract levels that completely buffer the firm and dense tannins on the deep, long and sappy finish. Terrific quality here but again, for the patient. Outstanding.  Drink 2020+"  Allen Meadows, Burghound
