The Monnier family have owned this estate for over 10 generations and this wine is created from grapes of the 1er Cru vineyard in Pommard. Carefully attention in the vineyard, including attentive pruning, is used to limit production and increase the quality, concentration and flavour of the grapes. (12 x 75 cl)
The village of Pommard is comfortably sandwiched between the town of Beaune and the commune of Volnay. In contrast to the wines of its close neighbours, those of Pommard tend to be fuller, more tannic and expansive in the mouth, similar to those of the Côte de Nuits. The Epenots is solid and firm in its youth and needs time to mature and mellow out before revealing its full glory. It is intense and spicy with a distinct truffle bouquet and a flavourful richness. The 1998 Pommard 1er Cru vintage has a concentrated deep red robe and the palate is a reflection of the concentrated fruity aromas. The wine has a lingering finish and a good length. (12 x 75 cl)
