The 1999 Michel Gaunoux Pommard Grands Epenots is a Premier Cru Pinot Noir from one of the most highly-regarded vineyards in the Pommard appellation. Michel Gaunoux holds a parcel of 0.8 hectares within the Grands Epenots vineyard, known for its deep, clay-rich soils that contribute to the wine`s power and structure. The 1999 vintage, a classic year for Burgundy, produced a wine of immense concentration and longevity, with a profile of dark red fruit, wild berries and a savoury earthiness. This is a powerful and traditional Pommard, marked by a firm tannic backbone that demands significant time in the cellar to soften and reveal its full complexity.

Robert Parker
The 1999 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots is a stunning young wine that is still a decade away from full maturity but is already giving the full measure of its potential, exhibiting a superb bouquet of dark chocolate, ripe wild berries, rich soil, summer truffles and grilled ceps. On the palate, it`s full-bodied, multidimensional and concentrated, with incredible depth and dimension at the core, framed by rich structuring tannins and concluding with a long and still youthfully chewy finish. This is the most powerful and broadest shouldered wine in this vertical of Grands Epenots, and it`s a magical bottle in the making. - William Kelley
