(50% whole clusters). A notably floral nose offers notes of plum, freshly
turned earth and red currant scents. I very much like the underlying tension and fine delineation of the middle weight flavors that also exude a fine bead of minerality on the mildly austere and rustic finish. This is notably more structured than the Charmotte and will need a few years of cellaring first.

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.
