(Comte Armand Pommard Clos des Epeneaux) 31 hl/ha with just a little less new oak. High-toned less forwardly ripe than the 2002, mixing mineral notes with the redder fruit. Lush, concentrated palate, tannins are similar to the '02 but perhaps a little less ripe though the fruit buffers beautifully. This will need more time than the 02. In Benjamin's opinion the 02 says more today about the vintage than the Clos, whereas the 01 is all about the Clos
