Domaine Pierre Gelin
Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir 2022
Initial impressions of this 2022 is that it has a young vine Beaujolais Village profile!!?? Ruth fruity, with some earth coming through pleasant but at $45 a bottle I’d rather have gone for A gamay. Does go well with the duck breast in cherry/ orange sauce. 2 nights later this has opened up into a different wine. Depth, concentration, elegance subtle spices. — a month ago

At first sip thought this 2023 was a clean simple uninspiring wine. Tried again the following day and its beauty was revealed. Aromas of green melon and citrus rind. Palate reveals the same with a salty tang and white pepper sensations. I’m now a big fan. About $24 retail — 5 days ago
