RATINGS

91Burghound.com

Finer and more elegant nose combining very rich, forward, expressive aromas of cherries, fresh crushed raspberries and yet more floral notes that merge seamlessly with round, supple yet quite intense flavors...

90+ Stephen Tanzer

Aromas of black cherry, currant, tobacco, Oriental spices and nutty oak. Sweeter and thicker than the Echezeaux, with a more floral character. Ripe, harmonious acidity frames and carries the fruit.

17.5Jancis Robinson

...Hint of cherry with some sweet candied violets. Sweet and light and flirtatious with a kick of acidity...fan of flavours on the finish – cherries and mulberries. Very very long...opens up in the glass to be thoroughly convincing.

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.
