(from a very large 1.2 ha parcel). A relatively high-toned nose features extremely fresh notes of various red berries along with hints of earth, stone and humus. There is a lovely sense of tension underpinning the delineated, intense and stony medium-bodied flavors that possess solid power and punch on the balanced finish that is a touch less austere than it usually is at this early juncture.

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.
