Pommard 1er Cru Clos Des Epeneaux Domaine Comtes Armand, 2000

Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux 2000 from Domaine Comtes Armand is a benchmark Burgundy from one of the appellation’s most celebrated single vineyards. Sourced from a historic monopole in Pommard, it combines site-specific depth, structure, and finesse in a style that has long made the domaine a reference point for serious collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this should show the deep garnet hue typical of mature Pinot Noir, moving toward brick at the rim with age. The bouquet is expected to be layered and complex, with notes of dark cherry, dried raspberry, forest floor, spice, truffle, and subtle earthy leather tones. On the palate, Clos des Epeneaux is known for its firm tannic frame, concentrated fruit, and mineral drive, all of which usually soften beautifully with bottle age. The 2000 vintage is likely at or near peak maturity now, offering savory complexity, refined texture, and a long, persistent finish, with remaining aging potential depending on storage conditions.

Production
Clos des Epeneaux is one of Pommard’s most renowned Premier Cru sites, prized for its limestone and clay soils that bring both power and precision to Pinot Noir. Domaine Comtes Armand farms this monopole with a focus on low yields and careful vineyard work, and the fruit is typically harvested by hand to preserve quality. Vinification is traditionally Burgundian, emphasizing gentle extraction and élevage in oak to support structure without overwhelming the character of the vineyard.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with classic Burgundy fare such as roast duck, game birds, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and braised lamb. It also works well with earthy vegetarian plates featuring morels, lentils, or truffle. Serve at around 16–18°C; decanting is recommended if the wine appears reserved or tightly knit on opening.
