Domaine du Comte Armand (Clos des Epeneaux) Description
Domaine des Epeneaux owes its name to the Clos des Epeneaux, a magnificent parcel of five hectares acquired by Nicolas Marey at the end of the 18th, beginning of the 19th century. In 1828, the Clos des Epeneaux and related buildings, known as the Fief de Rancy, situated in the centre of the village of Pommard, became part of the heritage of the family of the Count Armand. The estate remained as such until 1994 when it annexed a vineyard plot situated in the neighboring village of Volnay, then later parcels from the village of Auxey-Duresses. Today, Domaine des Epeneaux constitutes a total surface area of 9 hectares, and is more committed than ever to producing wines that are true expressions of their terroir.
100% Aligoté Doré with a surface Area: 0.65 ha (1.60 ac) with sourcing from Pommard (30%), Volnay (69%), and Meursault (1%).
Terroir: Volnay: from the lower section of the appellation, flat, deep soil, poor drainage. Pommard: flat slope, deep fertile soil. Meursault: flat slope, poor drainage.
Burghound: 87 Points
A very aligoté-like nose features notes of spicy green apple and citrus nuances where the latter can also be found on the vibrant, delicious and nicely detailed flavors that flash evident minerality on the clean, dry and refreshing finale. One to two years of keeping should see this well-made effort drinking perfectly.
