Subtle at first, the 2021 Comte Armand Pommard Clos des Epeneaux Premier Cru Monopole builds into a poised, finely etched expression of Pommard, with lifted red cherry and raspberry layered over dark plum, gentle spice, and freshly turned earth. Medium-bodied and silky through the mid-palate, it tightens on a firm, slightly austere finish, where bright acidity and refined but insistent tannins promise a long, graceful evolution rather than sheer power. This is a precise, classically styled Clos des Epeneaux that emphasizes clarity and length over weight.

Pommard Clos des Epeneaux Premier Cru Monopole from Comte Armand’s Domaine des Epeneaux is a benchmark, single-ownership Pinot Noir from a 5.2‑hectare walled clos in Pommard that straddles Grands and Petits Épenots. Farmed organically with biodynamic practices and planted to very high vine density, including some very old vines, it typically yields a powerful yet refined style of Pommard, pairing dense red and dark fruits with pronounced spice, mineral depth and a supple but structured tannic frame that rewards long ageing.
