Pommard Grand Epenots Jadot 2005

The clayish and calcareous soil gives the wine a deep red-black colour and an intense bouquet of red fruits, musk and game meat as soon as the wine reaches a certain level of maturity.
In terms of style, Pommard 1er Cru « Les Grands Epenots » is rather delicate because the subsoil is slightly less humid than the Epenots part.
It matches very well red meat and game as well as cheese.

Region Description

(pee noh nwahr)—A tricky grape to grow, Pinot Noir makes some of the best wines in the world. The prototype wine is red Burgundy from France but Oregon, California, New Zealand, and parts of Australia also produce good Pinot Noir. The wine is lighter in color than Cabernet or Merlot with relatively high alcohol, medium-to-high acidity, and medium-to-low tannin. Its flavors and aromas can be very fruity or earthy and woodsy, depending on how it is grown. It is rarely blended with other grapes.
