Critic Notes
James Suckling writes: Such an enticing sour-cherry nose with subtle leafy and earthy notes. Such a joyful expression of this very underrated terroir. Such a zesty pinot noir with a long, crisp finish, in which the gentle tannins and lively acidity are beautifully integrated. Drink or hold. - James Suckling 91
Jancis Robinson writes: Transparent ruby. Quite an evolved, earthy nose. Sweet and rich with no rough edges. The ripeness of the vintage is evident but not intrusive.There'st a little dustiness on the finish that's far from unpleasant. A red burgundy that is attractively broad in the beam. A comfortable, comforting wine. Persistent. Drinking 2022 to 2026. Great Value. Jancis Robinson 16.5
Allen Meadows writes: Notably ripe aromas include those of cassis, dark raspberry and humus nuances. The rich, delicious and vibrant middle weight flavors conclude in a rustic and somewhat raspy finish. While this could be enjoyed shortly after release, it has the stuffing and structure to reward short to mid-term cellaring. - Burghound
