Cherry and iron flavors meld together nicely in this red, along with spice and earth accents. Lingers on the crisp finish, where a smoky note emerges. Best from 2020 through 2032. 100 cases imported.

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epenots from Château de Meursault has a simple bouquet but one that is at least clean, with uncomplicated redcurrant and cranberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and simple red berry fruit, quite smooth in texture with a simple strawberry and raspberry preserve aftertaste. Tasted September 2017.
