Description

2011 Pommard, Clos des Epeneaux, 1er Cru, Comte Armand, BurgundyVolumes at Domaine du Comte Armand were broadly similar to 2010 in 2011 but will be catastrophically low in 2012 as Pommard was one of the hardest hit villages with the poor weather. We must, therefore, take advantage of Benjamin Lerouxs brilliant range of wines made available this year, from the supposedly lowly Aligot upwards. Look out for the potential of the fabulous Clos des Epeneaux, which Ben has harnessed to a quality level rarely seen before.

The texture is soft

The nose has more tropical

The delicate ruby hue in the glass belies the intense character of this extraordinary wine

but with a spicy edge

Shallow sandy soils

but here they seem to add finesse

The finish is driven and typifies the grandeur of the vintage
