The 2014 Domaine Francois Gaunoux Pommard Les Grands Epenots is a notable Pinot Noir from the renowned Burgundy region in France, specifically from the Cote de Beaune sub-region within the Pommard appellation. This wine, produced by Domaine Francois Gaunoux, carries a classic red hue and is sealed with a cork closure.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine an impressive score of 93 points, highlighting its potential and complexity. According to the review, the wine possesses a "pretty bouquet of wild berries, plum compote and flowers," which suggests a fragrant and delicate aroma profile. The review also notes that the wine is medium to full-bodied with a "pure and fine-grained palate" that is structured around a "beautifully defined line of ripe acids." These characteristics indicate a wine that is both elegant and well-balanced, though the reviewer emphasizes the need for patience, suggesting that it will require a decade of aging to fully develop its potential.

The 2014 vintage was affected by hail, which the review suggests may have contributed to the wine's notable structural chassis. Despite this, the wine is described as less dramatic and voluminous compared to its 2015 counterpart, implying a more understated complexity that will appeal to those who appreciate subtlety and finesse in their wines.

Overall, the 2014 Domaine Francois Gaunoux Pommard Les Grands Epenots is a wine that promises to reward those who can afford to wait, with its current attributes hinting at a future of greater depth and smoothness. For enthusiasts of Pinot Noir and Burgundy wines, this bottle represents a valuable addition to the cellar, with the potential for exceptional enjoyment in the years to come.
