Domaine Du Comte Armand Clos des Epeneaux 1er cru Monopole, Pommard

The Clos des Epeneaux from Domaine du Comte Armand is fiercely idiosyncratic. A contrarian icon in Burgundy, it is pursued by international collectors for its uncompromising structural authority, which commands substantial secondary-market interest. The fruit is sourced from an ancient, walled four-hectare monopole (wholly owned) that is rich in iron-dense clay and fractured limestone. This Grand Cru-calibre terroir completely shatters any expectations of rustic Pommard. The wine delivers an incredibly intense, high-tannin structure and a depth balanced by a vibrant, high-acid core.
