Les Aigrots Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Hunting for Burgundy in Cannes. No celebrities in sight!!! Coincidence? I think not…

Red '06 vintage .
Found it a bit hollow, lite in this line up. A bit herbal and green, this wine is yo-yoing at every bottle. A bit disappointed I didn't found the same structure in this bottle like the one I found on the same wine a couple weeks ago. It's string, transparent to its terroir but the wow factor isn't there. Bottle variation perhaps....

Love the red candid fruit mashed with baking spices combo in this wine. Elegant hints of caramel and we leaves, good quality price ratio. Even John Lennon on the back approves!

2005 Lafarge #beaune Aigrots #pinotnoir made for lovely drink -can certainly choose to age more as well #sommchat #burgundy

Gentle red fruit trying to overshadow a mild Bret presence. 15% new oak if I recall..... Pleasant enough.

2005

In the words of the great T. Parsons, "...this is artistry."

Will make you rethink Beaune blanc.

No comment !

Bourgogne the way I like it. Tart red fruits and serious structure. Opens with some air
