A bit hiding in plain sight. Have seen this 96'er more open recently. Made out of Pinot Noir clones from the Clos de Tart Grand Cru vineyard.

Comme d'habitude, bien fait ! Il ne lui manque que quelques années de vieillissement :P

13%. The days of finding Burgundy on the cheap are very much over. Heck even simples Bourgogne are now selling for 50$. Yes you can search for bottles from the cheaper villages like Givry. And this is a good example but the wine lacks depth. It will never be a Gevrey or NSG just too lean for me. Cherry notes yes - but it lacks the earthiness and extra dimension I am looking for and will never be special. A good everyday Pinot but for 45$ to expensive. Will try the wine tomorrow again. Just to be sure.
