Description
This really is most extraordinarily perfumed in 2022. It is full of soft, sweet and silky notes of violet, reminiscent of a Chambolle-Musigny. The palate shows its true provenance, with the chalky, powdery notes coming through but the finish is much more supple than usual. Always a distinctive wine, this year it has added crowd-appeal.

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.
