Reviewed November 2023The gorgeous 2022 displays the vintage’s signature ripe and pure succulent black fruit with unobtrusive structure and freshness. Powerful, to be sure, but not overdone and with an elegant touch. Two vineyards, Les Grands Epenots and Les Petits Epenots, comprise Les Epenots. They are the first vineyards you see on the right as you leave Beaune and enter Pommard. Les Petits Epenots is – you have to love the French – larger than Les Grands Epenots! Parent owns parcels in both, prefers the wine from Les Petits, but says that marketing something as 'petit' is a nightmare, so hers is a blend of the two.(ME)

Burghound
Note: from both Grands and Petits in a roughly 50/50 proportion. Liqueur-like aromas of various dark berries, violet, lilac and warm earth are trimmed in moderately toasty oak. There is both excellent richness and density to the suave and mouthcoating flavors that are also blessed with an abundance of dry extract that serves to buffer the balanced, persistent and solidly powerful finish. This is excellent and while not better than the Chaponnières, it's classier.*Burghound Outstanding!*

Vinous
The 2022 Pommard Les Epenots 1er Cru is a blend of the separately fermented Petit and Grands Epenots, about 50/50, 40% whole bunches and raised in 50% new French oak. The wood is just covering some of the fruit at the moment, so it will require some time to assimilate fully. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins and fine depth; maybe I’d have dialed that wood back a little on the finish, as it's a bit too chocolaty for my liking. Let's see how this matures in bottle.(NM)
