2021 Bourgogne Côte d'Or, Pinot Noir, Arnaud Baillot

Description

This is a very serious Bourgogne Cote d’Or Pinot, one of the most complex I remember tasting. On the nose, a mix of precise red and black fruit alongside gamy and smoky characteristics, quite complex. The palate has a certain weightlessness to it translated in a great freshness, not something you see in a basic Bourgogne rouge. Good length and structure body - a bargain to be had here!

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.
