A beauty, this is all silk and finesse. Still, there is adequate structure underneath to support the vibrant cherry, berry, floral and spice flavors. A lingering impression of oak spice and latent mineral marks the finale. Best from 2020 through 2036. 112 cases made, 22 cases imported. ... More details

92-95 An intensely floral nose that is less expressive but more elegant displays an attractive sense of freshness to the high-toned red berry, earth, game and softly oaky aromas. The seductively textured, concentrated and mouth coating broad-shouldered flavors possess evident muscularity on the robust, intense and hugely long finish where a discreet touch of wood surfaces. This very firmly structured effort is presently almost rustic and this too will demand extended cellaring if you wish to see its full potential revealed.

Dark, bright red. Musky dark raspberry, crushed stone and flowers on the nose. Surprisingly plush and sweet on entry, then juicy and penetrating in the middle, showing strong menthol and mineral reserve. Tannins clamp down on the finish, which echoes and resounds with purple fruits and flowers. This juicy, penetrating, youthfully tight wine will need long aging.

green grapes

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Whilst the Pinot Noir grape varietal has its origins in France, and is most closely associated with fine Burgundy wines, it is now grown in almost every wine producing country in the world. There are many reasons for this – the densely packed, deep black bunches of fruits are responsible for making a wide variety of excellent wines, generally agreed to be amongst the most drinkable and accessible one can find. With flavors ranging from currants and red and black berries, to more earthy, spicy notes, Pinot Noir is a versatile varietal which is revered for its relatively light body and beautifully vivid red color However, the grapes themselves are notoriously susceptible to various diseases, and struggle in fluctuating climates. This has not stopped wineries planting and cultivating these vines, though, as Pinot Noir, when grown carefully and treated properly, is a grape with a wide and increasing fan-base, and more often than not produces wonderful wines.

Region: Burgundy

In the beautiful French wine region of Burgundy, there is archaeological evidence to suggest that there has been viticultural activity going on for at least two thousand years. To add to this, there are early written records praising the exceptional wines produced in this region dating back to the 6th century, making Burgundy one of the oldest established and still operational wine regions in the world. The region is most commonly associated with fine red wines, with Pinot Noir being the primary grape varietal grown on its rolling hillsides and gently sloping valleys. However, Chardonnay grapes are also produced in abundance for the production of their fine white wines, with both varietals benefiting greatly from the region's warm, hot summers and the superb soils which make up the terroir.

Country: France

Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
