Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux 2012 is a Pinot Noir from a celebrated five-hectare monopole vineyard. The 2012 bottling is noted for its muscularity, which has begun to integrate over 12 years of development. The wine shows a deep colour and a dense profile of black cherry, iron and smoked earth with a substantial tannic backbone. This is a powerful and structured red Burgundy with a persistent and mineral-driven finish.

(I tasted two components, the first from compact bedrock and the second from fractured rock, mostly at the top of the holding, then an approximation of the final blend; there is no longer a young-vines cuvee and no more Pommard 1er Cru bottling as the youngest vines here are now 27 years old; 12 hectoliters per hectare, or one-third of a normal crop): Bright, full red. Sexy, complex nose melds raspberry, redcurrant, iron and a soupcon of chocolate. Hugely rich and mouthfilling, with red fruit flavors complicated by wild herbs and salty minerality and nicely framed by harmonious acidity. In a very ripe style but with plenty of serious tannins for support. Finishes with extraordinary palate-coating solidity. Leroux told me this wine would be bottled in magnums--and larger.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2014
