Le Grand Noir
(Black Sheep) Vin de Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir 2017
Girlfriend picked this French Pinot Noir (one of my favorite styles) and found this vintage behind the 2019's on the shelf. Color is deep purplish black, nose has dark fruits, leather/tobacco, and a hint of funk, moderately high tannins and a decent acidity to balance. Full bodied, this wine delivers flavors of prunes, dark berries, leather, and mulling spice. I would drink this wine again and even let it age. — 2 months ago

Laforet Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2018
Picked this up to make boeuf bourguignon. Burgundy (ironically enough) in color, no sediment, aromas of raspberries and black currant has a light minerality note undercut with some spice. Body is light to medium light, flavors of the aforementioned fruits with some cherry/almond finish with a nice tannin presence. Overall a solid wine I would cook with and use as an introduction to French Pinots. — 9 days ago

This wine is definitely worth the price. Rich berry jam aromas, strong terroir presence pulls it all together. Vanilla, blueberry/cherry/raspberry flavors fade quickly to an minerally funk. Delicate tannin balances the light body and low acid on this easy drinker. Wouldn't hesitate to buy again — 9 days ago
