This Pinot Noir offers a complex aromatic profile, with notes of light cranberry, black cherry, red currant, violet, earth, and savory spice.

Reviewers have praised its elegance, balance, and intensity, with some describing it as "simply brilliant" in its youth. After some air, it becomes beautifully balanced, revealing further nuances of raspberry, minerals, smoke, and delicate floral hints like rose petal. 【This wine is highly revered in Burgundy and almost impossible to purchase at retail, truly punching above its village status.】
