Bright, youthful, deep purple colour. Spices and charcuterie to sniff, char-oaky touches and concentrated dark cherry. The palate is full and firm, deep and serious, with authority and grip, which helps drive the lingering finish. It has lots of potential. A splendid Burgundy that punches above its station.
#4 of 18 2018 Pinot Noir from France
95 points Huon Hooke therealreview.com 25 AUG 2020 Drink 2020–2038
“Sourced from several different vineyards expressing different soil types. Perfumed with floral notes of earthy African violet and bright cherry. The palate is firmish with a supple wrap of fruit. Has a grainy feel with a fine acidity and subtle influence of new French oak. Has a dry finish. Poised and expressive.”
