POMMARD 1er Cru Fremiers Domaine de Courcel 2016
Medium-deep red-ruby. Dark berry aromas are complicated by nuances of flowers and earth; more complex in a Volnay way than the Croix Noires and Pommard villages. Suave, plush and sweet in the mouth, conveying an impression of tension and a hint of saline minerality. More refined than the preceding samples, finishing with smooth tannins that coat the front teeth. This, too, has the density and aromatic interest of a Côte de Nuits wine.
POMMARD 1er Cru Grand Clos des Épenots Domaine de Courcel 2014
(from an enormous 4.8 ha parcel with vines ranging from 50 to 65 years of age). Here the nose is quite similar to that of the Fremiers with just a bit more complexity. This extra complexity continues onto the exceptionally rich, indeed this is almost viscous, in its density yet the middle weight plus flavors are not top heavy. Like all of these 2014s the supporting tannins are quite firm and mature but even so this is going to require a long snooze in a cool cellar as it would be largely pointless to open one of these young, other than in the interest of science. 2029+
