Louis Baisinbert Pommard Premier Cru Les Grands Epenots 2011

Deep ruby in colour with subtle purple tones, the Pommard 1er Cru ‘’Les Grands Epenots’’ shows a powerfully aromatic nose with red fruits, forest fruits and hints of earth and leather. The intensely fruity palate is dense, robust and well-structured with sweet spices on the finish.

Located in the East of Pommard, «Les Grands Epenots» is one of the most renowned premier cru wines. This southeast facing AOC status wine-growing region was created in 1936. The parcel was previously named ‘’En Espeneaul’’ and consisted of scrublands and thorny bushes before being acquired by Guillaume d’Argilly in 1260 for vine growing purposes. It was later donated to the Cistercians. The surface area of its Premier Cru production is 10.14 Ha. The lower parts of the vine parcel are spread across clay-limestone soils and drained by rocky gravel debris whilst the upper parts are spread across Oxfordian marl brown soils.
