The fruit is sourced from a vineyard at 550 meters in elevation. Part of the wine matured in concrete egg, which preserves the fruit and creates seamlessness and chalkiness in the tannins. The tannins are profuse but pliable. This is highly attractive and brooding, in its way. The fruit is sourced from the Naimanya and Burley vineyards, both in Flaxman’s Valley up in the Eden Valley.

The estate has been in the Armand family since the 18th century, and the Clos des Epeneaux has been their sole focus for generations, a rare monopole Premier Cru entirely enclosed within the village of Pommard. The domaine is managed today with the same uncompromising attention to detail that has defined it for centuries, farming the vineyard organically and vinifying with minimal intervention to let the terroir speak as clearly as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePommard sits between Volnay to the south and Beaune to the north, and it produces some of the most structured and age-worthy Pinot Noir in all of Burgundy. The Clos des Epeneaux occupies a privileged position on the mid-slope, where limestone-rich soils with a clay subsoil give the wines their characteristic combination of depth, grip and aromatic complexity. The enclosure of the clos itself creates a distinct microclimate, moderating temperature and protecting the vines in a way that contributes to the remarkable consistency of the wine across vintages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2021 was a vintage that demanded everything from growers across Burgundy. Spring frosts devastated yields in many parts of the Côte d'Or, and those who survived the frosts faced a cool, uneven growing season that required patience and precision in the vineyard. The reward for those who managed it well was a vintage of exceptional freshness and definition, with lower alcohol, higher natural acidity and a purity of fruit that recalls the great cool-climate Burgundies of earlier decades. Clos des Epeneaux 2021 is a wine that wears the difficulty of the vintage as a badge of honour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose is deep and composed, opening with dark cherry, cassis and ripe plum layered over violet, dried rose petal and a subtle thread of forest floor and damp earth.

It is an aromatic profile of real complexity and restraint, nothing pushed or overworked, just the vineyard expressing itself with quiet authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate the wine is structured and serious, but never heavy. The tannins are finely woven and precise, providing a firm backbone without any roughness, while the acidity is bright and perfectly integrated, driving the wine forward with energy and focus. The fruit is concentrated but pure, dark cherry and cassis carrying through from the nose with a mid-palate richness that fills the mouth without any sense of excess. The finish is long, resonant and mineral, with the earthy and spice notes lingering alongside the fruit in a way that is deeply satisfying and unmistakably Burgundian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a wine built for the cellar. It will reward patience over the next 15 to 20 years, slowly revealing new layers of complexity as the tannins soften and the secondary characters develop. Those who open it now should decant for at least two hours and pair it with something worthy of the occasion, roast duck, venison, aged comté or a simple preparation of lamb that lets the wine do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49897801711809,"sku":"SK93402788","price":575.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/Comte_Armand_Pommard_Clos_des_Epenaux_Premier_Cru_Monopole_2021.jpg?v=1783428526"},{"product_id":"mongeard-mugneret-vosne-romanee-2023","title":"Mongeard Mugneret Vosne Romanee 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eMongeard-Mugneret's Vosne-Romanée exemplifies the precision and elegance characteristic of this storied Burgundy appellation.
