Domaine Georges Joillot – Les Épenots 1er Cru, 2022 – Pommard

The nose is elegant, airy, complex, velvety and offers a certain intensity as well as voluptuousness. It reveals notes of violet, small wild purple plum and small notes of creamy raspberry associated with touches of crushed cherry, graphene, smoke, nutmeg as well as a delicate hint of fresh almond and a discreet hint of lily (in the background). The palate is beautifully led, juicy, pulpy, fresh, beautifully precise and offers a certain velvetiness, energy as well as a beautiful freshness. A beautiful brightness and brilliance of the fruit. On the palate this wine expresses notes of bright/juicy red plum, bright/juicy blackcurrant and small notes of blueberry associated with touches of bright/juicy red berries, mineral hints, fine hints of fresh flowers, a discreet almost laurel berries hint, smoke, tonka bean as well as a subtle hint of star anise and fresh hazelnut. Tannins are tasty, fresh and juicy. Good length.
