The 2000 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux dates from a different epoch in the domaine's history, and it's a far cry from the graceful, elegantly intense wines being made at the domaine today. Notes of red-black fruit mingle with the strong signature of cedary, minty new oak, introducing a wine which is simultaneously austere and open-knit, carrying too much tannin from extraction and new oak for its own good.
