RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...layers of pure Morello, raspberry, game and an intriguing slight musky scent. As usual at this nascent stage it is deceptively understated, but it blossoms in the glass.... supremely well focused... wonderful structure and symmetry...

94Wine Spectator

Rich and fruity, displaying some reticence, this opens up in the glass with air. Features plenty of strawberry, raspberry and cherry, along with spice and mineral, converging on the long, refined finish.

93Stephen Tanzer

...red berries, coffee, soy sauce & smoke... notes of raspberry and strawberry... De Villaine notes that the average age of vines here is lower at 35 years and that the final blend includes some fruit from 12-year-old vines.

93Burghound.com

...violets & rose petals, hoisin, soy & clove along with black pinot fruit, cassis & plum... exceptionally rich but brooding, intense & very serious... energetic & palate staining finish... this stunningly long effort is also quite fine...

18.5Jancis Robinson

Broad and rich on the nose – more obvious fruit and structure than the straight Échezeaux. Lively and racy on the palate with a real structural frame. Dense undertow.

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.
