Tasted by:
(at Decanter tasting suite, London, 11 Apr 2023)
Drinking Window: 2023 - 2026
From a 20ha family estate in Nuits-St-Georges, this Pinot Noir is one of just three allowed to use a named lieu-dit with the Bourgogne designation, and future releases will be classified as Marsannay. Dark hue, with crisp, crunchy berry fruit, lots to enjoy on nose and palate. Lifted, floral aromas, a stony character on the finish. Elegant, with the ripeness of 2020 balanced by vibrant acidity, shows lots of dimensions and has plenty of time to evolve further.
