L’Épiphanie de Pauillac hails from Pauillac’s top tier – a Premier Grand Cru Classé estate. There are only three estates in the appellation: Lafite Rothschild, Mouton Rothschild and Latour.
This wine is from one of them. It isn’t their Grand Vin, of course, but it’s made from the same fruit by the same winemaker and housed in the same barrels. Yet it costs less than 1/16th of the Grand Vin’s price.
L’Épiphanie de Pauillac has blackcurrant, cherry and ripe plum infused with subtle spice, cedar and cigar box notes. These classic aromas combine with firm tannins for a complex wine with a long finish. Can be drunk now, but cellaring will pay dividends.
