CÔTE RÔTIE Les Schistes Domaine Clusel-Roch 2019

Lieux-dits La Viallière, Champon, Le Plomb and Montmain, aged for 12 months in barriques, 15% new. Lush, open, welcoming style, plenty of fruit and fairly loose knit tannins. Plenty of them. Just a little soft on the finish. Very pleasurable, drink young.

POMMARD 1er Cru Clos des Épeneaux Domaine Comte Armand 2013

Former winemaker Benjamin Leroux oversaw the 2013 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru, though Paul Zanetti told me he finished the aging in barrel. In this vintage, the wine was completely de-stemmed due to hail damage. The nose is well defined though simple, tertiary, with plenty of damp undergrowth/autumn leaf notes. The palate is medium-bodied with rustic tannins and fine weight. It's ferrous in style, with dark chocolate and tobacco leaf toward the finish. A little introspective, perhaps? This is a decent muscular Clos des Epeneaux, though not in the same class as the recent top vintages.
