Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2018 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru was tasted from the four component blends and an assemblage. I must say that although I would like to have reported about the obvious difference between parcels of various vine age and soil types, I would describe them more as variations on a theme, the differences more nuanced than I have found in other vintages. The final pre-prepared blend has a delineated bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and cranberry scents, more floral than expected, with pressed rose petals and orange blossom emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins and the 30 new oak extremely well integrated, with savory hints toward the persistent finish. This is just superb. (93-95)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
As usual, I sampled the various constituents of the cuvée before tasting a representative blend of the 2018 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux, and as ever, the whole is superior to the sum of the parts. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of raspberries, cherries, peonies, spices, orange rind, cassis, woodsmoke and espresso roast, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, its lively and concentrated core of fruit framed by rich structuring tannins, concluding with a long and sapid finish. This promises to number among the Côte de Beaune's wines of the vintage, and it will be well worth seeking out. (93-95)
Burghound
This is the first wine to display an appreciable level of wood influence on the distinctly earthy aromas of plum, black pinot fruit and violet. Once again, the medium-bodied flavors possess a beguiling texture and even better mid-palate concentration thanks to the abundant dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm tannic spine supporting the balanced and beautifully persistent finale. In a word, excellent. (92-94)
