These are typically the last grapes to be picked and the wine therefore takes longer to express itself in both barrel and bottle, as though it moves at a more serene pace. The nose is rich and spicy with densely packed black cherry. The palate is simply endless, with lingering chalky tannins. Drink2027-2040.

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.
