This is a red Burgundy you'll probably want to cellar for a few years to let it develop further, but when you do open it you will understand why we're such big fans of the Pinot Noir from Côte d'Or.

What experts say about this wine

100

Wine Enthusiast

Bracing tannins frame red-cherry and fresh strawberry flavors in this ripe yet svelte, focused wine. Youthful red-fruit flavors are hedonistic already but this subtly spiced Pinot Noir is perfumed by hints of forest floor and wild herb that should gain depth with time. It's best to hold till 2024 at least. The wine should improve well through 2040.

Wine Spectator

A vibrant, expressive red, with cherry, strawberry, currant and earth flavors allied to a silky backdrop. Defined and harmonious, building to a long, complex and firm finish. Compact in the end, so be patient. Best from 2025 through 2042. 1,800 cases made, 450 cases imported.
