Blend

100% Pinot Noir, sourced from a blend of Côte d'Or (Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Hautes Côtes de Nuits), Côte Chalonnaise (Mercurey, Givry), and Auxerrois (Irancy)

Tasting Profile

The 2022 offers a plush, fragrant nose of cherry, raspberry, violets, vanilla, and cedar, with soft tannins and a smooth, medium-bodied palate showing red berry, fine spice, and a slightly spiced finish. Reviewers note it is quite powerful for a regional Bourgogne, combining the grace of Pinot Noir with chewy tannins and gentle acidity.

Region

Burgundy (Bourgogne) is an illustrious wine region in eastern France celebrated for its remarkable diversity of terroirs, divided into several subregions each with unique characteristics. The Bourgogne AOC is the entry-level appellation, and climate change has benefited these wines in recent years, offering more ripeness and weight than in previous decades.

Price Context

Approximately $25 USD (ex-tax) average retail price per 750ml bottle, representing strong value for a Burgundy from a top négociant.
