Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 95-98/100

100% new oak, 70% whole cluster, 13.8% alcohol. This is brilliant! Dense black-purple, but with a heavenly sweet, fully ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit covered in cream, yet with a crystalline finish (the zalto glass may help this). Hyper-opulent but super balance.Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (November 2019)

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
