Its expressive nose layers dark cherry, plum and violet with developed notes of forest floor, leather, liquorice, dried flowers and fine spice. On the palate, it is concentrated and beautifully layered, offering polished tannins, vibrant freshness and the mineral depth characteristic of Clos des Épeneaux. Dark fruit gradually gives way to earthy, savoury and spicy nuances, while the finish is long, persistent and finely balanced. Although drinking beautifully now, it should continue to evolve gracefully with careful cellaring over the coming years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClos des Épeneaux is a contiguous Premier Cru monopole of more than five hectares and forms the heart of Domaine du Comte Armand.
