"Bright, dark red. As much black fruits as red on the nose, along with subtle complicating notes of iron, spices and underbrush. Pliant, rich and sweet, with slightly wild flavors of raspberry, tobacco and iron energized by saline minerality. The supple tannins of this very complete, long Pommard are totally buffered by concentrated fruit. This has the class and nuance of a top Côte de Nuits wine. Yves Confuron told me that 2013 was riper than 2010 and Domaine de Courcel, then opened a bottle of the 2010 Grand Clos des Epenots to compare it to the '13. I'm not sure he proved his point, as the 2013 currently conveys a crunchier fruit impression and the 2010 boasts superb breadth, but both vintages offer outstanding transparency to soil. The 2013s were bottled in September of 2015 without fining or filtration."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Pommard is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with noted Premier Crus, producing dark, powerful and tannic Pinot Noir reds of firm structure and earthy depth built for aging.
2013 in Burgundy was a difficult, cool and hail-hit year with a late harvest and small crop; the wines are fresh, lean and classically styled, with bright acidity and firm structure, especially the reds.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
