Pommard Clos des Epeneaux, Domaine Comte Armand 2014

The 2014 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux was reduced to 22 hectares after losing 90% of the crop due to the hail. It has an elegant and precise bouquet of lifted red and black fruit, fine mineralité and terroir expression, despite the impact of the hail. The palate is crisp on the entry with supple tannins, very harmonious with a light marine influence infusing the finish, one of the most elegant that I have encountered in recent years. There is again a little wood to be absorbed, but it is a lovely Clos des Epeneaux.
