Deep Ruby red similar to a Shiraz in colour. Rich, ripe, aromatics - decadent Strawberry, Raspberry and red cherry notes on nose and palate. A full bodied Pinot for sure - glycerin and slippery. The richness of the fruit dominates the whole bunch stalky influence. The following night still rich and delicious. Soft tannins. The Calcaire name coming from the calcareous soils from a bed of fossilised sea shells laid down 250 million years ago, providing a lime rich sub layer. Had a 2nd bottle 15 months later on 18th May 2023. Just as enjoyable as the first tasting. A rich flavoured Pinot - dense Ruby in colour. Medium bodied but full of flavour. 94 points.
