Pommard Premier Cru 'Grand Clos Des Épenots', Domaine de Courcel 2012
Known for its power and structure, the 'Grand Clos Des Épenots' exemplifies the robust yet refined nature of Pommard. It's full-bodied, with firm yet well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The fruit flavours are rich and concentrated, accompanied by a mineral undertone. Enjoy it now, especially with some decanting to allow the wine to open up, and it will continue to develop and gain complexity with further aging.
Volnay Premier Cru 'En Champans', Domaine de Montille 2023
"A complex interplay of steep, sandy limestone vineyards and marl soils delivers a wine of notable finesse. Over one-third whole cluster fermentation brings bright raspberry and crunchy cherry fruit, accented with spice and silky tannins. Balanced acidity and freshness make this a beautiful, early-access Volnay." Our note The 2023 vintage reflects a year of moderate warmth with consistent sunshine, leading to steady, well-paced ripening. Although temperatures weren’t extreme, the shift to warmer nights and milder days contributed to extended growing periods. This translated into wines that are strikingly fresh, with lower alcohol levels, vivid acidity, and vibrant character—brighter and more approachable compared to recent years. Comparisons to the 2017 vintage are apt, showcasing elegance and precision. The domaine features as one of the Top 10 Côte de Beaune Red Wine, and White Wine Producers in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2023 Special Report.
