🏰 The 2013 Domaine de Courcel Pommard Grand Clos des Epenots 1er Cru is a 【harmonious blend of Pommard's famed power with a line of elegance and finesse, even from a challenging vintage】. This Pinot Noir, from 50-65 year old vines, offers fresh, airy red berry fruit aromas of strawberry and raspberry, accented by notes of earth, floral nuances, tea, nutmeg, and spice. The palate is dense and medium-bodied, with flavors wrapped in a mocha-infused finale, showcasing a ripe character for the vintage and excellent aging potential. 🍴 This structured red Burgundy is a superb partner for rich, savory dishes. Classic pairings include roasted game birds like pheasant or partridge, beef bourguignon, or a hearty mushroom risotto. It also complements aged hard cheeses beautifully. 🥂 Perfect for a special dinner, a gathering of Burgundy enthusiasts, or for cellaring to allow its complex layers to further unfold. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
