RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

...almost Romanee-St-Vivant inspired nose that is very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a slight prickle on the entry.

91-93Stephen Tanzer

Dense, juicy and tightly wound, with excellent texture and concentration to the savory black fruit flavors. Firm tannins are nicely supported by the wine's mid-palate concentration.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits-Villages, Flagey-Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux

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.
