(from Les Bondues). In contrast to the expressiveness of the prior wines this is backward and brooding and only grudgingly displays notes of petrol, white flowers and discreet wood. By contrast there is plenty of energy to the bright and delicious medium weight flavors that possess both good richness and delineation while delivering fine length on the moderately complex finale. Note that my score offers the benefit of the doubt that more depth is in the offing with a few years of bottle age.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
