2020 Beaune, Epenottes, 1er Cru, Dominique Lafon, Burgundy

Description

Despite this vineyard’s proximity to Pommard, the wine is elegant rather than powerful. The soil here is not dissimilar to neighbouring Epenots, with limestone beneath clay. The fruit profile is fresh raspberry, a feeling that is enhanced by the vibrant, saline acidity that runs through the wine. This is invigorating and refreshing.

Critics reviews

William Kelley 91-93/100
Notes of cassis, wild berries, warm citrus and peonies introduce the 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Les Epenottes, a medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated wine framed by lively acids and powdery tannins. This is shaping up nicely.William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Jan 2022)

4 barrels. Incredibly dense, but we are in sun dried cherry country with a juicy raspberry backdrop. Rather enjoyable in its way and there is no excess heat behind, very good if you want a richer style and it still has a cool finish. 14% alcohol.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (January 2022)
