94pts Decanter Magazine– 2016 vintage

FOR THE 2016 VINTAGE
From the Petits Epénots, this superb wine is the king of the Rossignol cellar in 2016. A brooding bouquet of rich red and black fruit, spice, rich soil and savoury bass notes is the prelude to a multidimensional, layered wine with incredible vibrancy and depth at the core. Only two barrels were produced, with 50% whole cluster fruit. The concentration and intensity of this wine evoke great post-war Pommard.

N/Apts The Wine Advocate– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
Always one of Rossignol’s best bottlings, the 2017 Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots unfurls in the glass with a complex bouquet of orange rind, cherries, cassis, dried flowers, rose petals and spices. On the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with lovely depth and dimension at the core, framed by fine-grained tannins. There’s less fleshy fruit that in the stunning 2016 and 2015 renditions, but this has everything it needs to develop beautifully in bottle. 92-94pts

N/Apts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
The 2017 Pommard Les Epenots 1er Cru comes from 112-year-old vines and is made with 60% whole clusters. (Rossignol has started a sélection massale program from this parcel.) The focused, sophisticated bouquet offers superb mineralité and a palpable sense of energy. The medium-bodied palate delivers silky-smooth tannin, wonderful acidity and a mélange of red and black fruit laced with sage, white pepper and a touch of clove. This is a stunning Pommard from Nicolas Rossignol. 93-95pts
