Critics reviews
Allen Meadows 90-93/100
Notes of crushed fennel and green tea are present on the pretty essence of red and dark raspberry, earth and humus-infused aromas. The racy and intense middleweight flavors are a bit finer though not quite as powerful on the youthfully austere finish that could also use a bit more depth. A Charmes of finesse.allen_meadows, burghound_com
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.
