2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots, Domaine Violot-Guillemard
The vines here have an average age of 70+ years and, along with Rugiens, enjoy one of the finest positions in the village. The soil on this side of the village, nearer to Beaune, is extremely complex, with a high mineral and limestone content towards the top of the slope. This makes for a more ethereal, delicate, and elegant expression of Pommard than perhaps we are used to. It will need a little time, but this is a diamond in the making.

Critic Scores
91-94/100 – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
01/01/2024
A pinker edge to the crimson. Here the whole bunch strawberry is rather crisper than the Fremiers. Very intense fresh raspberry up front, and a raft of white pepper along with some tannin behind. This wine is still rather raw but with fine potential. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: October 2023.
