Burghound, April 2005, Score: 92
A touch of wood spice frames marvelously detailed, impressively complex and expressive fruit. This is not quite as dense as the Epenots but there is more than sufficient concentration and while this is presently more elegant, the tannins will require plenty of time to become fully resolved. Great potential here in a serious style. Drink: 2012+.Comments: outstanding!

Burghound, April 2004, Score: 89-92
The early malo shows here as this is much more harmonious today than the Epenots. A touch of wood spice frames marvelously detailed, impressively complex fruit and surprisingly high-toned flavors given how somber and serious the prior wines are presently showing. This is not as dense as the Epenots but it's more elegant though the tannins will require plenty of time to resolve themselves. Great potential here. Drink: 2012+.Comments: outstanding!
Producer
Domaine de Courcel
De Courcel is one of the Côte de Beaune’s grandest estates, having been in the ownership pf the de Courcel family since the late 17th century. The estate is skilfully managed by Yves Confuron from Vosne Romanée. He prefers to pick late, allowing him to vinify with whole bunches and age his wines a little longer in cask before bottling, which he feels provides an added layer of texture to the wines.
Region
Pommard
A long popular appellation, Pommard is yet another exclusive red wine area which produces by far the most structured reds of the Côte de Beaune. It extracts rich body and long ageing potential from the limestone/iron-rich clay soil. Some examples can be markedly rustic, yet as time has passed and winemaking know-how has improved, Pommard's wines are becoming softer and more approachable when young. Its vines cover 317 hectares of which over a third are premier cru vineyards. Several have pronounced following and even one, Les Rugiens, is being pushed to become a grand cru.
