Domaine Pierre Morey
- Vin Rouge- Classement : 1er cru
- Surface (ha) : 0.43
- Année moyenne de plantation: : 1965
- Cépage : Pinot Noir
Les vins de Pommard sont réputés tanniques et austères dans leur jeunesse, mais le terroir des Grands Epenots est incontestablement l’un des plus fins de la commune, tout en gardant une structure suffisante pour assurer un long vieillissement.
Ce Premier Cru se distingue par sa finesse, son élégance et son côté fruité qui le rapproche des terroirs de Beaune. Il doit être conservé au moins 8 à 10 ans avant d'atteindre son apogée.
Notes de dégustation
The 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Epenots is showing beautifully from bottle, offering up a deep bouquet of ripe berry fruit, plums and cherries mingled with soil tones and hints of blood orange. Medium to full-bodied, with fine mid-palate volume and powdery structuring tannins, this is a lively, elegant Grands Epenots that has realized the potential it showed in barrel.
« This domaine is better-known for its white wines, but the 2015 Grands Epenots, from vines planted in 1965, is a really serious bottle of Pommard that it would be a mistake to overlook. Creamy red-black fruit, subtle notes of grilled meats, spice and gentle framing of new oak mingle in an incipiently complex bouquet, introducing a full-bodied, deep and concentrated wine, structured around supple, elegantly ripe tannins. Terrific juice. » 94 points
Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson 2016-11
« The spicy, tighter but very slowly growing fine and fresh aromas. Large volume, lots of mouth-watering fruit and pretty gorgeousness. Wow wine – not the massive MOST of energy, goal year ingraining quality – just gorgeous stuff. »
15/20 – « Ce vin se présente dans un profil sobre, dans une trame svelte, droite, au fruit croquant et nerveux, aux tanins mats, servi par un élevage discret. »
88-90 points
17/20 – « À la fois sensuel et soyeux, ce premier cru offre un tannin énergique et épicé de bonne dimension. »
Burgundy Briefing – Sarah Marsh
« Touch of spice and floral fragrance. Good tension in the middle palate with a svelte texture and dark, juicy fruit with light fennel, liquorish
« Flowers and spice on the aroma. Good fresh acidity. Ripe, supportive tannins. Peppery. Fine. »
Burghound.com – Allen Meadows
91-93 « A very pure extract of red pinot fruit nose is liberally laced with earth and rose petal hints that give way to rich, full-bodied and tautly muscular medium weight plus flavors that possess mouth coating extract. There is a restrained character to the beautyfully balanced, long and moderately austere finish where the supporting tannins are not only prominent but suggest that a decade or more of cellar time will be required. »
« Une belle bouteille, à la fois élégante et concentrée, avec beaucoup de volume et de pureté en bouche. »
91 points – « A lean, sinewy red, showing a beam of pure cherry, wild berry, mineral and spice notes…. »
94 points – « A beautiful rounded wine, full of juicy fruit,… »
