DOMAINE PARENT POMMARD ‘LES EPENOTS’ 1ER CRU 2016

89-91 Points - Neal Martin - The Wine Advocate: ‘The 2016 Pommard 1er Cru Les Epenots includes 30% whole cluster with 40% new French oak. This was more introverted and did not quite deliver the same harmony as the other premier cru Pommards at this early stage. The palate is edgy on the entry with good structure, the oak nicely subsumed with a grippy, slightly hard-edged finish that will be abraded down during its élevage. I will remain cautious for now, but I am sure it will meliorate with time.”
