the domaine du comte armand - also called domaine des epeneaux - has enjoyed a good reputation for a long time, but it has further increased its recognition since the arrival on the estate of the manager paul zinetti (first vintage in 2014) who directed the wines from the estate towards more refinement and elegance. however, the different cuvées have kept one of the characteristic traits of this estate, which is to produce powerful and rich wines. the clos des epeneaux cuvée (emblematic monopoly of 5.23 hectares) is particularly popular and all the wines from the comte armand estate are now considered a benchmark in burgundy. the estate is managed according to the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture (both certified). the aging of the estate's historic cuvée is approximately 22 months in oak barrels (including 40-50% new wood, with light toasting). the wines have good aging potential, appreciating over a few decades. located in the center of the pommard appellation, at the foot of the hill, the famous clos has been cultivated biodynamically since 1988. the cuvée marketed under the name “clos des epeneaux” is one of the ten largest monopolies in burgundy. it comes exclusively from plots selected for their vines aged at least 20 years; as for the grapes from more recent vines, they are "downgraded" and intended for the estate's pommard village cuvée. the harvest is of course manual. the aging lasts 22 months with a proportion of 40% new barrels. an uncompromising selection that gives the wine race and depth, two qualities much appreciated by connoisseurs, in the same way as its magnificent structure. admittedly very tannic in its youth, the wine nevertheless proves ample, generous and of a finesse rare in pommard. not to mention its impressive procession of aromas, where candied red fruits, plums, violets, old rose, leather and sweet spices parade. for the food and wine pairing, it will perfectly sublimate game. do not hesitate to leave it for several decades in your cellar.
