RATINGS

93-96Stephen Tanzer

Noble, airy aromas of piquant pomegranate, smoky minerality, white pepper and leather. Densely packed and folded in on itself; like a black hole in the mouth. Great verve and energy to the saline and crushed stone flavors.

93-95Burghound.com

There is exceptionally good purity and transparency to the intensely mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that evidence ample power on the impeccably well-balanced and linear finish.

92-94The Wine Advocate

Fine tannins, a little introverted but you want to delve in and see what becomes of this wine. Alluring!

18Jancis Robinson

Red fruit that combines ripeness with sappy freshness. No oak showing, tannins are really compressed and accessible.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits-Villages, Gevrey-Chambertin, Latricieres-Chambertin

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand 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.
