Description
The Pinot Noir vines are between 26 and 75 years old and are vinified in 3 batches according to age. The blend incorporates older vine fruit and some of the younger. There is more tannic structure than in recent years. On my last trip, from south to north, this was perhaps the first wines to indicate that there was something truly great about 2006 reds. The finish is, true to form, seamless and silky. 2015 to 2024+
Producer Information: Domaine de Comte Armand
After a seven year apprenticeship, the capable Paul Zinetti has taken over here and done an exceptional job under tricky conditions. Fully organic since 2005 and now certified as biodynamic, the lower parts of the vineyard are worked by horse and the reduced compaction is already resulting in a better soil structure.
Epeneaux is, of course, one of the great reds of the Cotes de Beaune.
