Pinot Noir

This is also very ripe but not roasted or jammy though the nose does have a liqueur-like character from the cassis poached plum and dark cherry scents. There is even more volume to the big-bodied and prominently muscular flavors... Read More

Lovely mid purple the nose is intense clean and pure. Brilliant rich fruit from the very start with its usual coating of oak but this is complete powerful and fine with the weight of a wine where the clay is a little more in evidence... Read More

Notably lighter in colour than Fonteny with a grace and elegance despite the 100% new oak and forthright style. The oak comes through on the vanilla front more than through its tannins. Just a little bit meaty too with good acidity... Read More

The Sérafin vines are in their own little Clos in Les Corbeaux. Rather lighter in colour and again with a slightly meaty nose. A little more delicacy of fruit on the palate even some elegance and floral notes along with a little... Read More

100% new wood. Rich purple just a little bit meaty. There is a wealth of fruit from the start on the palate very clean fills the front of the mouth then continues through to managed wood tannins at the back. Good long clean finish.... Read More

An overtly floral-suffused nose blends both ripe red and dark cherry aromas with those of anise and an interesting hint of orange peel. The rich but lilting medium-bodied flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that buffers... Read More

This is aromatically quite similar to the Teurons but slightly spicier. On the palate there is a bit more volume with a lovely minerality suffusing the medium-bodied flavors that exude a hint of mocha on the youthfully austere... Read More

Dark hued and brooding this red reveals blackberry plum earth iron and oak spice flavors. Backed by dense almost gritty tannins and lively acidity leaving a tactile feel on the long finish. Be patient. Best from 2025 through 2039.... Read More

Discreet but not invisible wood influence can be found on the ripe aromas of various dark berries prominent earth and violet scents. Somewhat surprisingly in the context of the reported yields the mid-palate is not especially... Read More

A notably ripe yet still appealing fresh nose includes notes of both red and dark raspberry anise and just turned earth. The slightly bigger-bodied flavors possess a finer mouthfeel while delivering notably better depth on the... Read More

A much more deeply pitched and more floral-suffused nose speaks mostly of blue berries anise and a subtle touch of earth. I very much like the seductive mid-palate texture of the vibrant medium weight flavors that display excellent... Read More

Black with a bit of purple. The bouquet offers a similar style of ultra lush raspberry that we saw in the Bourgogne. An explosion of fruit with density some firm structure behind not too much acidity but all a cohesive unit with... Read More

A vivid and vibrant fresh purple reflecting the low pH (3.30). The nose is exuberant and vivacious at the same time. This is a late malolactic wine and has been reduced but not today. Despite the thick texture and super charged... Read More
