"A beauty transcending the simple "Bourgogne" designation. From a single site, a "Clos" in fact, and almost a monopole with the exception of also being inhabited by another owner that does not produce wine. Shows hallmarks of the 2009 vintage: the acids are low and the fruit precocious, and will work at this level to break the perception of "tartness" that so often occurs with "Bourgogne". If you buy $20 Pinot Noir from anywhere, I recommend this without hesitation. Purely pleasurable with ripe cherries and raspberries, this wine is completely open for business now and requires no patience at all. " 89 Points, Rhett Beiletti, B-21 |
