Description
The 2021 Haynes Pinot Noir Forgeron exudes freshness and class, and has everything you would expect of a top quality Burgundy, but remarkably from Napa. The nose is aromatic and inviting with garden herbs in flower spicy red fruits and a sweet earthy richness reminiscent of the smell of morning dew on the ground. The length is exceptional.

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.
