RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...On the palate, meaty characteristics and mineral salts well up to meet the persistence of cherry and truffles. Notably creamy in texture, this finishes with subtly complex persistence...

89-92Stephen Tanzer

Good deep red. Reticent aromas of red cherry, redcurrant and tobacco. Lush and sweet, with a glyceral texture and a fine grain but less primary fruit character than the Boudots. Finishes suave and long, with ripe tannins.

..densely fruited nose of red pinot fruit aromas, underbrush, spice and a deft application of wood gives wayto rich and equally spicy middle weight flavors that possess a supple texture on the delicious, vibrant and beautifully long finish.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
