The most impressive of the Cote de Beaune red wines is the Pommard Les Epenots. It is surprisingly big, bold, and forceful with plenty of underlying depth and body. This concentrated, alcoholic, tannic wine should age well until the late nineties. The 1985s from this famous firm are all impeccably clean, correct, well-made wines. Drouhin has managed to preserve the individual identity of each appellation as the wines do not taste alike. There is, of course, a house style, but that can be said of the wines from a small grower as well.
