Domaine Comte Armand has held its 13-acre Monopole Clos des Epeneaux since before the French Revolution, making it one of Burgundy's longest-held vineyard parcels. The 2002 shows the vintage's characteristic earthiness: a stern, tobacco-scented bouquet with small dark cherries, potpourri, and hints of iodine. The palate is sweet on entry with well-judged acidity and a distinctly feminine character, concluding with delicate spice. Vinification included a cold soak, 28 days of maceration with pigeages, and elevage in roughly 55% new oak, allowing the wine's structured tannins and complexity to develop gradually.

Antonio Galloni

"Bright medium red, with little sign of amber. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, cinnamon, mocha, leather and earth, with complicating ferrous notes of iron and tobacco. Wonderfully silky and fine-grained, showing lovely class and lift to its red fruit and spice flavors. Not a powerhouse but remarkably suave and smooth for Pommard. Really rises and lingers on the highly aromatic finish. Still on an upswing." —Antonio Galloni

"The 2002 Pommard Clos des Epeneaux does not quite match the previous vintage. It has a stern, earthy, tobacco-scented bouquet with touches of small dark cherries and potpourri, followed by a scent of iodine. The palate is sweet on the entry with well-judged acidity and comes across as quite feminine, a trait more evident in subsequent vintages. It feels natural and concludes with a delicate touch of spice that lingers in the mouth. This is very fine." —Neal Martin

"Bright, vibrant crimson. Real competence. Round fruit, but no sacrifice of structure. Very convincing ."
