Darker fruit. Bing cherries & some ripe raspberry notes. Bright, but more tannin in the structure than acid. Beautiful aromatics here with fresh red berries & black tea.

"The soul of a Volnay and the body of a Pommard." Distinct anise note. Overachiever.

Red and black fruits, herbs and spices on the nose; light but well structured with firm tannins and delicious acidity, lots of fruit and savoury notes

2011-This came together beautifully. Dark fruit. More modern in style. If there was ever a gateway Burgundy this is it

This is a sensational Pinot Noir, though very young. The tannins are drying and need some time to soften, and there's plenty of acidity to support that ageing. Dark, intense, floral, and a great example of Santenay, one of my favourite Burgundy villages.
