Comte Armand Clos des Epeneaux Monopole Pommard Premier Cru 2017

A poised, stately Pommard that marries depth with finesse. The bouquet opens on ripe red cherry and raspberry, layered with rose and peony, a flicker of orange zest and subtle undergrowth spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied and silk-textured, its vibrant fruit carried by fresh acidity and finely woven tannins. The finish is long, sapid and minerally inflected, with hints of black tea and moist earth. It is already seductive for its perfume and balance, yet the structure suggests graceful development over the mid-term.
