"Chemin des Moines de Vergy" Pinot Noir 2021

8.9

Blinded, I honestly didn’t think much of it. It just didn’t have any defining character or complexity to stand out in the line up. Found this note off the interweb, which is relevant:

This is a relatively newly planted single vineyard that formerly was the land of the Monks of Vergy, and is situated along the path they took daily to reach the abbey of Saint-Vivant from Vosne-Romanée. It is at a higher elevation and looks down on the famous Grand Cru sites of Vosne Romanee; the soil here is clay limestone.

The wine is characterized by a dense purple color. The taste of wine is fresh, generous, with crisp acidity and a crisp nuances of oak wood. The finish is a little bluff. Aromatic bouquet of wine abounds with tones of ripe and juicy red fruit. — 3 months ago

Quintessential French rosé for refreshing, sweet (but not too sweet) summer sipping. Can't go wrong with the region... I think I'm in love 👌 — 8 years ago

Too young, but still delicious. Blue and black fruits, nice tannic structure. Will improve over the next 5+ years. Enjoyed at Mooo in Boston. — 3 months ago

@Byron Hewett Hello Byron. I assume you meant 2021. Did you find this wine reflected the lighter vintage? Many are saying back to “traditional Burgundy “ after the warmer vintages from 2015.

I did mean 2021. My experience with’21 is that it isn’t necessarily lighter. The frost, hail and other pressures dramatically reduced the crop, but most of the wines made are still quite good. Better care in the vineyard, and careful selection of grapes made a huge difference. This wine was no shrinking violet!

Serious wine, whatever that means. Nose of deep red fruits with an undercurrent of freshly cut grass and a hint of earthiness. Still a bit primary and tannic, but still just intense, focused and ethereal. Much more chambolle than NSG — 6 years ago
