Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Épenots 2018 — Domaine de Montille
This Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Épenots 2018 from Domaine de Montille embodies one of the noblest and most structured expressions of Pommard. Sourced from a historic Premier Cru climat of the Côte de Beaune, renowned for producing deep and long-lived Pinot Noir, it combines the natural power of Les Grands Épenots with the classical precision of the domaine.
The 2018 vintage brings generous substance, ripe fruit and impressive density, while preserving the freshness and tension needed for balance. The wine reveals notes of black cherry, Morello cherry, ripe raspberry, red plum, peony, fine spices, liquorice, noble earth, light cocoa and delicate forest floor. It is a profound, refined and persistent Pommard, already expressive after aeration, yet built for graceful evolution in the cellar.
The spirit of the wine
A great Pommard of structure, depth and distinction. Les Grands Épenots gives here a wine of assertive character, carried by a noble tannic frame, dark and precise fruit, mineral freshness and a long finish. The de Montille style brings elegance, tension and restraint to the natural power of the terroir.
Terroir: Les Grands Épenots, depth and Pommard nobility
The Les Grands Épenots climat is among the most respected Premier Cru sites of Pommard. Located in a privileged sector of the appellation, it is known for producing Pinot Noir of depth, firmness and complexity, with strong ageing potential.
Its clay-limestone, marl and stony soils give wines with solid architecture, ample substance and marked mineral persistence. In the hands of Domaine de Montille, this power remains finely controlled through precision, freshness and balance, resulting in a Pommard that is classical, noble and elegant.
