Omschrijving
Wijnen zijn het toonbeeld van de kwaliteit van het fruit waar ze van afkomstig zijn. Met het grootste respect voor de druif, wordt de oogst 100% ontsteeld, waarbij de meeste bessen heel blijven, niet geplet. Voorgisting maceratieperiode van 5-8 dagen bij een temperatuur van 13-14°C. Spontane alcoholische gisting tussen 5-10 dagen. Nagisting maceratie van 3 tot 15 dagen, afhankelijk van de oogst. De meeste jaren duurt de totale maceratieperiode ongeveer 4 weken, wat relatief lang is voor traditionele wijnbereiding in Bourgogne. Ze geloven dat het veel voordeliger is om de geëxtraheerde materie voldoende tijd te geven om zichzelf te structureren tot iets stabieler en harmonieuzer tijdens de vinificatie.
Afhankelijk van de appellatie en de leeftijd van de wijnstokken, rijpen onze wijnen 18 tot 24 maanden in vaten, met een percentage nieuw eikenhout variërend van 0% voor de Village-appellations tot 30% voor de oude wijnstokken van Clos des Epeneaux. Met een oppervlakte van 5,23 hectare is de Clos des Epeneaux een van de grootste monopolies van de Côte de Beaune en Côte de Nuits (zowel 1er crus als grands crus inbegrepen). De wijnstokken variëren tussen 30 en 80 jaar, met een plantdichtheid van 12.000 wijnstokken / hectare. Het is verdeeld in 4 eenheden, die afzonderlijk worden gevinifieerd.

The 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux has gained in depth and dimension with élevage and showed very well from bottle, unfurling in the glass with an expressive, youthfully fruit-driven bouquet of raspberries, cherries, candied peel and rose petals, framed by a subtle touch of new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and fleshy, with succulent acids and elegant tannins. While this isn't as rich, muscular or gourmand as the 2018, it's an immensely seductive wine that will drink well comparatively young—though readers should still plan on exercising at least a decade's patience.
As I wrote last year, the talented Paul Zinetti is doing great work at Domaine Comte Armand, and it's always a pleasure to taste with him. He reported average yields of 40 hectoliters per hectare in 2018—down a little after 2017—and that he destemmed everything this year. The vintage is full of promise at this address, displaying depth, concentration and energy, and it will be well worth acquiring. I also revisited in bottle the domaine's emblematic Clos des Epeneaux from the 2017 vintage, and I found it performing very well indeed.

From: 2017 Burgundy: A Modern Classic (Jan 2019)
The 2017 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux 1er Cru was tasted from different sectors of the vineyard. The first sample, tasted directly from tank, comes from two parcels, one at the bottom part of the clos populated by 45- to 65-year-old vines on clay-rich soils, and another located in a plot of 35- to 38-year-old vines. This has a precise, focused bouquet of black cherries, bilberry, a touch of oyster shell and just a hint of blue fruit. The 30% new oak is neatly integrated. The medium-bodied palate shows supple tannins laced with a fine bead of acidity. It exerts a gentle grip and feels quite saline toward the finish. A second sample from limestone soils demonstrates a little more amplitude and a higher percentage of red fruit, not to mention a silkier finish, while a third sample from 86- to 98-year-old vines provides the floral scents and the persistency, perhaps the intellect, of what will be the final blend. This does not possess quite the persistency of the greatest Clos des Epeneaux that I have encountered, yet it is undoubtedly a beautifully made wine.
- By Neal Martin on October 2018
Having visited the domaine at the height of the 2018 harvest when head winemaker Paul Zanetti was tackling crates of bunches pouring in from the vineyard, I returned just four weeks later to taste the 2017s. “Fortunately, there was no frost in 2017, just a little oïdium and mildew, but it was fine at the end of the season,” Zanetti told me, calmer now that his last harvest was safely in the vats. “I did a last treatment at the end of July to preserve the leaves against mildew, and the sanitary conditions were good when the fruit came in. We cropped up to 45hl/ha for the Village Crus and 35hl/ha for the Clos des Epeneaux, starting the picking on September 3 and finishing on September 11 with the Auxey-Duresses and Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru. It was still important to take out any pink berries, and initially the colour extraction was low, so I thought about making an additional punch-down. Instead, I just kept the grapes at 28° Celsius for 10 days to two weeks, and slowly the colour came and the tannin became more rounded and elegant. Everything was de-stemmed. The Clos des Epeneaux is around 13.5% to 13.8% alcohol. The 2017 is my first vintage using all four blocks of the Clos des Epeneaux [since recent vintages have been affected by frost or hail.] We pumped over this week with a small quantity of SO2.”
The 2017s from Comte Armand show genuine succulence and freshness and precocious style; they are wines designed to give pleasure. The good news is that you do not have to secure an allocation of Clos des Epeneaux to enjoy these wines. Make a beeline for the Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru, a delightful Pinot Noir packed with ripe fruit, or the Volnay Les Fremiets, which exudes purity and precision. As my tasting note indicates, I tasted the Pommard Clos des Epeneaux from three different cuvées due to be blended and bottled just before Christmas, each illustrating their contribution to the blend. Whilst I feel that the 2017 might not necessarily be up there with the greatest vintages, it will be a sensual and saline Pommard that will surely offer a couple of decades of drinking pleasure.
