Pommard 1er Cru Clos Des Epeneaux Domaine Comtes Armand, 1997

Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux 1997 from Domaine Comtes Armand is a benchmark Burgundy for collectors seeking depth, structure, and real village character from a prized Premier Cru site. Sourced from one of Pommard’s most celebrated clos, it captures the classic power of the appellation while offering the refinement and nuance that make mature Burgundy so compelling.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this is expected to show a garnet core with evolved brick-toned edges, reflecting its age and traditional Pinot Noir profile. Aromatically, mature Pommard often reveals layers of dried cherry, red currant, forest floor, wild herbs, tobacco, cedar, and subtle earthy spice, with the Clos des Epeneaux typically bringing impressive aromatic complexity. On the palate, the wine should be medium-bodied to full-bodied in style, with firm yet integrated tannins, a savoury core, and flavours of red berries, dried fruit, truffle, leather, and undergrowth. The finish is likely long and structured, with enough concentration to suggest graceful drinking now, while still retaining the ability to evolve further in a good cellar.

Production
Clos des Epeneaux is a historic Premier Cru vineyard in Pommard, one of the most respected communes in the Côte de Beaune, known for producing structured, age-worthy Pinot Noir from clay-limestone soils. Domaine Comtes Armand is closely associated with this monopole site, and the wines are typically crafted with careful parcel selection, traditional harvest practices, and gentle vinification aimed at preserving terroir expression and finesse.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with rich, savoury dishes such as roast duck, venison, game birds, beef tenderloin, or mushroom-based dishes like wild mushroom risotto and beef bourguignon. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting older bottles briefly to help the aromas unfold without losing their delicate mature nuances.
