Fruit forward Pinot with nice leathery/tobacco notes on the palate. Really nicely balanced wine that lends itself to food

Nice Pinot, albeit a bit angular

Ran through an aerator, exposed the thinness of the wine. Next glass was straight out of the bottle, the tightness was beneficial.

2010 vintage. Floral, spicy and perfume. Bitter on the palate.

Our favorite! We get it by the case. Good with everything. Best if you let it breathe a bit first

Cranberry jam and earth. Fruit forward and mid+ body. Tart finish, really tasty. Age for 2-3 years more okay.

Super surprised by this. Enjoyed it. Light, fruity, smooth. Would go great with duck :-)

Found this in my cellar recently.... it held up nicely... still great color (very slight orange tinge) and exhibiting all the wonderful Characteristics of Russian River Valley... supple and balanced on the mid palate with a pleasant tangy acidity in the outro.... apparently Domaine Chandon no longer produces still wine... too bad.
