Description
This too is firmly reduced and unreadable. More interesting are the succulent, even suave, medium-bodied flavors that possess a sleek mouthfeel while exhibiting fine length on the balanced and youthfully austere finale. While this should be capable of rewarding up to a decade of keeping, it should be reasonably approachable after only 4 to 5 years.

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.
