I 🥰 Burgundy Pinot Noir but this burgundy @ £35-40 personifies why I generally left Burgundy red wines for Bordeaux & others many years ago as for a high price you get a young acidic wine or for ridiculous money you get something aged & decent - so sad they are overpriced as I love Pinot Noir - I’m opening a big burgundy on Christmas to prove the point 😉 This is why New World is killing the overpriced old sadly 🤐 That said I found a decent one for £38 I’ll post tomorrow 😅
📍 Domaine de la Vougeraie Volnay 2013
🏵 88 points
🍇 Pinot Noir
🍷 Clear vibrant ruby
👃 Smokey torn smokey bacon through trampled cherry & blackberry in an earthy smoked herby field
👄 Med body of high acidity infused cherry with a blackberry earthy herb kick
🎯 Med acidic cheery & blackberry herby finale that will remove your teeth enamel
📝 £40 in Bordeaux, Rhône, Champagne, Spain, Chile, Australia, USA, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Argentina & even UK gets you a great bottle 😉 Why is Burgundy worth silly money for anything decent ?
