Vintage Character The 2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots from Lucien Le Moine is a striking example of Burgundy’s renowned Premier Cru terroir, delivering both depth and finesse. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was characterized by a warm, dry growing season, which produced wines with concentrated, ripe fruit and supple tannins—a year widely praised for its expressive and harmonious style.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 91–93 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, this wine opens with an alluring bouquet of wild cherries, ripe raspberries, violets, and subtle earthy undertones, accented by hints of spice and discreet oak. The palate reveals layers of red berry fruit, black tea, and mineral nuances, all wrapped in a graceful, velvety texture and finishing with persistence and savory complexity. Its structure and elegance make it an excellent partner for dishes such as roast duck with cherry sauce, grilled lamb chops, or classic Comté cheese, allowing the wine’s vibrant fruit and silky tannins to complement a range of rich flavors.
