(93+ points) Wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, violets, sweet spices, loamy soil and roses, the 2020 Pommard 1er Cru Epenots is medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with a concentrated...

Vinous, December 2021

(91-93 points) The 2020 Pommard Epenots 1er Cru has a very pure bouquet with plenty of brambly red fruit, sous-bois and light touches of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, taut...

The 2020 Antoine Jobard Pommard 1er Cru Epenots is a distinguished Pinot Noir from the renowned Burgundy region of France, specifically the Cote de Beaune sub-region. Known for its layered complexity, this red wine draws attention with its medium to full-bodied profile and multidimensional character.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this vintage an impressive 93 points, highlighting its "aromas of wild berries, violets, sweet spices, loamy soil and roses." The review praises Antoine Jobard's craftsmanship, noting the wine's "concentrated core of fruit" and "rich, powdery tannins" which are supported by lively acidity, suggesting a promising future for this bottle.

Vinous, another respected publication, also rated this wine at 93 points, with a review that emphasizes its "very pure bouquet" featuring "plenty of brambly red fruit, sous-bois and light touches of blood orange." Neal Martin from Vinous describes the palate as "medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity" and commends its "nicely proportioned, quite sapid finish." Martin suggests allowing the wine to age for 4-5 years to reach its full potential.

Jasper Morris, writing for Inside Burgundy, gave the wine a solid 92 points. Morris describes the wine's color as "pure mid purple" and the nose as having a "fine quality of correctly ripe pinot." He notes that the wine is "more lush than elegant perhaps but stylish nonetheless," and appreciates its balance, as the fruit effectively covers the structure.

Burghound provides a slightly lower score of 90 points, describing the wine as having "good freshness" and "ripe aromas of black cherry liqueur." Though it mentions a need for more depth, the review remains optimistic about the wine's aging potential.

Overall, the 2020 Antoine Jobard Pommard 1er Cru Epenots is a standout Pinot Noir that promises to develop further with time, earning praise for its purity and potential.
