The 2022 Domaine Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Épenottes is a beautifully structured Pinot Noir from the renowned Les Épenottes Premier Cru vineyard in Beaune, Burgundy. Situated beside Pommard's famous Les Petits Épenots, this limestone and clay site produces wines that combine depth with finesse. Hand-harvested and matured in French oak, the 2022 vintage opens with aromas of red cherry, raspberry and violet, complemented by subtle spice, earthy notes and gentle oak.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky yet structured tannins, bright natural acidity and impressive concentration. Layers of ripe red berries, savoury spice and mineral freshness lead to a long, elegant finish. While approachable in its youth, the wine has the balance and structure to reward patient cellaring, developing greater complexity over time.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Burgundy lovers seeking a refined Premier Cru Pinot Noir with depth and ageing potential. Pair it with roast duck, beef fillet, mushroom risotto, herb-roasted pork or aged Comté. Enjoy after a short decant, or cellar for the next 10–15 years as it develops additional savoury complexity and finesse.
