Les Parcelles Rares Les Varrons Pinot Noir

Most enjoyable bottle had in a while. Light, fresh and focused. Cranberry and cherry crushed fruit, pepper and spice and a bit of funk. Wanted more.

Electric red at the electric Four Horsemen.

This ‘Massal’ bottling didn’t quite reach the epic heights of the ‘Clonal Selection’ cuvée enjoyed in April but it was still lithe, delicate and delicious - 2016

Crunchy red fruit, cherry/cranberry, ethereal lift, rusty metal and black earth. Such a pleasure.

Vibrant and alive with a spritz on the palate. Meaty, herbaceous and dusty with black Cherry notes. Juicy with a slight grip on the lengthy, mouth-watering finish. Last glass screaming black pepper...

A bottle that I will probably never taste again. Definitely PN with strawberry, cranberry, red cherry but a little more earthiness (in a good way) than A Burg. A little tannic, a little used oak and a little more weight. Delicious, layered, complex and definitely of place.

Raspaberries, strawberries and a savoury character, almost the tiniest bit salty. Soft texture and light bodied with high acidity. Labet really hits it out of the park with their reds.

Antydan till kanel och viss stallighet i näsan. Mosade jordgubbar och tranbär i munnen. Perfekt vin att inleda balkongsäsongen med.

Субтильный аромат малины, ежевики, лавра, спелого красного яблока, пыли. Легкое тело, очень свежий и сочный вкус с доминантой красных ягод и добавками пряностей, прополиса, сушеных томатов, лавра. Тончайшее вино; требует времени и открытости восприятия. 17,5/20
