Domaine Denis Berthaut
Les Arvelets Fixin 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Pretty tightly wound on the nose with some raspberry and distant spice and oak. On the softer, more refined side of Pinot Noir but the core has a density that eludes to some longevity with a real balance of acid and tannins that match the perfumed sweet red fruit. Very pleasant to drink now but give it 3-5 more years and we should have ourselves a wine with all of the goods, and drive the average score up a point or two!
