Owned and farmed exclusively by Domaine du Comte Armand since the 19th century, this walled vineyard sits on deep clay-limestone soils that give the wine its signature combination of power, precision, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe 2018 vintage delivers an expansive yet controlled expression of the site. Aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry, and raspberry are layered with violet, rose petal, and subtle notes of spice, cocoa, and forest floor. On the palate, the wine is richly textured and structured, with dense but velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and a deep mineral core. Flavors of dark red fruit, licorice, crushed stone, and savory earth unfold gradually, carrying through to a long, complex finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eWhile the warmth of 2018 brings generosity and depth, Clos des Épeneaux retains its hallmark freshness and architectural structure.
