At the heart of Comte Armand lies the iconic Clos des Epeneaux, one of Pommard’s great treasures. This historic monopole has shaped the domaine’s identity, producing wines that marry depth and structure with a remarkable, almost unexpected elegance. Generations of careful stewardship and a deep respect for the vineyard have allowed this parcel to shine with incredible purity and character.
The estate’s style leans towards clarity and finesse, allowing the natural richness of Pommard to unfold with grace rather than force. The wines feel grounded and expressive, offering dark, layered fruit wrapped in fine, long-grained tannins. Comte Armand remains a reference point for those who love Pommard with both muscle and charm.
Comte Armand’s story is inseparable from the Clos des Epeneaux, which entered the family in 1826 and has remained its beating heart ever since. This walled vineyard was gradually revealed to be one of Pommard’s great treasures, and successive generations treated it with a kind of custodial care rather than showy ambition. Over the years régisseurs such as Pascal Marchand and Benjamin Leroux helped refine the style while keeping the focus firmly on the Clos. The domaine today still feels built around that single, remarkable parcel, its evolution a quiet, thoughtful response to the vineyard rather than a radical change of course.
