The 2023 Domaine Antoine Jobard Pommard 1er Cru Épenots is a beautifully structured Pinot Noir from the renowned Les Épenots Premier Cru vineyard in Pommard, Burgundy. Sourced from a 0.6-hectare parcel in Petit Épenots, planted in 1982 and 1986, this Premier Cru combines the power typical of Pommard with remarkable finesse. The nose opens with aromas of wild raspberry, black cherry and violets, layered with subtle spice, floral notes and delicate oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity and impressive depth. Concentrated red and dark berry flavours are supported by savoury spice and mineral freshness, leading to a long, refined finish. While generous in fruit, the wine retains precision and elegance, giving it excellent ageing potential.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for Burgundy enthusiasts seeking a Premier Cru Pinot Noir with both structure and finesse. Pair it with roast duck, beef fillet, mushroom risotto, venison or aged Comté. Enjoy after a gentle decant, or cellar for the next 12–18 years as it develops greater savoury complexity and elegance.
