Chateau De Meursault Pommard Clos Des Epenots Premier Cru Domaine 2019 750 ML

The most seductive young Pommard Clos des Epenots we have tasted. Smooth, juicy, and fresh sweet red fruits roll across the palate. Curvy and corpulent, the soft but expansive flavours coat the palate and extend across an equally open finish.n n Producer Informationn Château de Meursault is a Burgundian wine producer located in Meursault. The property itself has a history dating back to the 11th Century and is home to cellars that are regarded as some of Burgundy’s finest. The majority of the chateau’s vineyard land includes classified Premier and Grand Crus with impressive AOP land in Aloxe-Corton, Corton Grand Cru, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Puligny-Montrachet, and Meursault. The château produces about equal amounts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and has been owned by the Halley family since 2012, also owners of Château de Marsannay. Château de Meursault’s vineyard holdings span more than 60 hectares (148 acres) in the Côte de Beaune and are mainly composed of three soil types: hard limestone, marly limestone, and calcareous alluvium. Around 80 percent of the vineyards are located within one mile (2km) of the château which is located on 10ha (25 acres), including an 8ha (20 acre) parcel of Chardonnay vines planted in 1973. The estate’s top climats in Meursault include Charmes, Clos de Perrières, and the monopoly, Clos des Grands Charrons. Grapes are harvested by hand and immediately sorted at the winery. Vinification decisions are largely determined by the terroir and vintage of each wine. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay barrel mature from 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, generally 30 percent new. Barrels are only used for up to three years. The wines are bottled in replicas of 18th Century falcon bottles and age in the château’s historic cellars before release.
