Sweet Spot. Outstanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e“This is one of the few wines in the range to exhibit any appreciable amount of wood on the plum liqueur, violet, lilac and earth-suffused nose. The lavishly rich and velvet-textured big-bodied flavors possess focused power and excellent intensity, all wrapped in a palate coating, refreshing and once again hugely long finish. This is very clearly built-to-age yet it's not so imposing that it could not be approached after 6 to 8 years of age. This too is one to consider.” (April, 2017)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eVinous Media (Stephen Tanzer) 94\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e“Bright, dark red with ruby tones. Strong red soil character to the aromas of raspberry, ripe strawberry, mocha and brown spices. Classy, high-toned and penetrating, offering a rare combination of ripeness and acidity (Rossignol compares it to a mix of 2009 and 2008, noting that this wine has higher acidity than the rounder 2016 version). A thick, seamless, silky wine with superb class and sappy lift, this made me think of a ripe vintage of the Clos des Lambrays (!). Finishes with big, dusty, fine-grained tannins and deep, slowly mounting soil and brown spice flavors. A huge wine with a huge future.” (January, 2018)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003eWine Advocate (Neal Martin) 90-92\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in\"\u003e“The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Epenots includes a \"touch of stems\" according to Nicolas Rossignol. I appreciate the delineation on the nose with blackberry, wild strawberry and subtle undergrowth and woodland scents. The palate is medium-bodied with a candied opening, touches of marmalade and quince piercing the black fruit. There is good depth here, though the new oak (around one-third) will need a couple of years to fully assimilate.” (December, 2016)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037427650799,"sku":"4841","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/Rossignolepenots_1e0791ec-ca6f-47ec-85ba-5a408751842c.jpg?v=1731312615","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2015-nicolas-rossignol-pommard-1er-cru-epenots","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
