Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW 94/100

Dark plummy purple. The nose is eloquent and exuberant, as ripe as you could want but not tumbling over. The barrel toast is nicely incorporated. Then a freshness and precision in the middle of the palate, with some ripe crushed strawberries alongside the plummy note, and a deliberately firm finish needed to accompany the ripeness of the fruit.Drink 2028-2038Jasper Morris MW, Indside Burgundy (November 2022)

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.
