2005 Domaine Aleth Girardin Pommard Epenots 1er Cru
Aleth’s domaine is comprised of very old
plantings in Pommard Villages, Beaune-Clos des Mouches, and three Pommard Premier Crus - Charmots,
Epenots, and Rugiens-Bas. The latter two are parcels planted in 1906, some of Burgundy’s first
post-phylloxera re-plants. Aleth’s wines are as graceful and elegant as the woman herself. Yields are
kept extremely low in the vineyard and new oak is kept to no more than 33%. Some whole-cluster fermentation
is employed depending on the vintage. See also page 7 and 8.
·
Girardin’s 2005 wines have great charm and are very
drinkable now. There is no trace of Burgundian rusticity, just lush fruit that is focused and precise. I am
going to seek out the wines for my own cellar.
