Reduction and wood once again dominate but like the Renardes, floral nuances can be discerned. The rich, muscular and highly vibrant middle weight plus flavors exude a subtle minerality while delivering superb depth and persistent on the sappy, firm and ever-so-mildly austere finale.

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.
