Philippe Pacalet, Pommard Les Epenots 1er Cru, 2021
🏰 【From the natural winemaking pioneer Philippe Pacalet, the 2021 Pommard Les Epenots 1er Cru is a vibrant and mineral-driven expression, showcasing the cooler, more delicate side of Burgundy with admirable purity and fine development potential.】 The 2021 vintage in Burgundy is noted for its "cool charm" and delicate nature, producing wines for the medium term. This Pommard 1er Cru reveals admirably subtle wood influence, allowing spicy and overtly floral-inflected aromas of red cherry and currant to shine. The palate offers fine punch and a discreet minerality, with delicious, detailed, and tautly muscular middleweight flavors. It boasts a gorgeous mouthfeel and a lingering, impeccably well-balanced finish, with excellent vibrancy and mineral-driven characteristics.
🍴 This wine pairs beautifully with classic Burgundian fare such as coq au vin, beef bourguignon, roasted game birds, or aged hard cheeses. Its inherent minerality also makes it an excellent match for mushroom-based dishes.
🥂 An excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner party, a special occasion celebrating Burgundy, or a serious tasting among wine enthusiasts.
