Bourgogne Pinot NoirRégional

“Ample, pretty and attractive aromas. Lovely fresh energy but with depth too – a twist of pretty mint leaf complexity then finishing fresh and moreish – lovely wine…”

“Airy and perfumed but still with a lovely depth of ripe fruit below. Supple with obvious concentration. Broad and intense finishing with just a lick of almost grainless tannin. Give it 2 years – it will be lovely.”

Vinous – Neal Martin – Now, For My latest Trick Burgundy 2022 – 2024 January – 87-89 pts

“The 2022 Bourgogne rouge Côte d’Or comes from parcels just north of Meursault. It has a fresh, clean, vibrant bouquet with vivacious red cherry and strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and crisp with crunch red fruit. What you might call a “gourmand” Bourgogne Côte d’Or.”

“A spicy and lightly earthy nose of red and dark fruit leads to racy and attractively textured flavors that display sneaky good length on the nicely complex finale. This is quite good for its level plus it has the stuffing to repay a few years of keeping if desired.”

Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson 2022-06

“A round and generous nose of darker red fruit. Supple, broad. Great texture, generous and involving. Floral finishing, modestly mineral – the finish bring a mineral energy. Lovely.”

“The 2019 Bourgogne Pinot Noir is superb, bursting with aromas of cherries, dark chocolate and spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and charming, it’s lively and concentrated, with a pretty core of fruit and refined tannins. This cuvée just seems to go from strength to strength each year.”

Burghound.com – Allen Meadows   2021 – Issue 83

86-88 – “Very ripe aromas of plum, warm earth and humus retain reasonably good freshness. The exceptionally rich and voluminous flavors possess fine density and plenty of sappy extract that coats the palate on the mocha-infused finish.”

“The 2019 Bourgogne Rouge, which was racked three weeks before my visit, has an ebullient bouquet of lavish red cherry and blueberry fruit. The palate is well balanced with soft tannins, more black than red fruit and a slightly ferrous finish. It will give three or four years of pleasure.”

Soaring from the glass with aromas of ripe cherries and licorice, the 2018 Bourgogne Pinot Noir is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and generous, its expressive core of fruit framed by refined tannins. This is a delicious regional wine that will offer a broad drinking window.

Burgundy Report – Bill Nanson 2019-11

All the domaine’s regionals come from the commune of Meursault, here from a little clos next to the domaine, and to the north towards Volnay. Only racked 10 days ago, but showing very well!
Plenty of colour and fine, ample, but precise fruit for the label – very attractive. Supple, round and delicious in the mouth – with a nice finishing weight of flavour too – yes, delicious !

“A round, cushioned nose, cushioned with oak as well as fruit. Round in the mouth, full and invitingly flavoured, long, a line of fresh acidity. Ample and delicious wine.”

The 2017 Bourgogne Pinot Noir offers a boisterous bouquet of red berry fruits, spices and creamy recently used oak. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied, melting and expressive, with a juicy, open-knit profile.

“Here is some density and a very inviting concentration of fresh fruit, dark fruit. Lovely volume, a fine halo of fine tannin. Broad and delicious finishing. There’s good material here plus a juicy finish. Excellent.”

“A fine and ripe dark fruit almost tending towards blue fruit. Large, lovely volume and texture. A fine burst of flavour fresh and lip-smacking. There’s density here and a very, very tasty wine.”

Decanter Magazine – William Kelley 2016-10

“A pretty Bourgogne rouge, bursting with juicy red-black fruit and framed by fine, ripe tannins. As Anne Morey observes, “in 2015, nature did everything” – as this deliciously unforced wine demonstrates.”  87 points

Note : 16/20 – “Un bourgogne régional “tout simple”, mais bien plus qu’un simple bourgogne. L’ampleur et la densité du vin étonnent…”
