On this Thursday night heading into the weekend I have opened the 2018 Joseph Drouhin Côte de Beaune-Villages Pinot Noir.

On the nose there is cherry, strawberry, cranberry, hibiscus, vanilla, baking spice and a hint of smokiness.

On the palate I find cherry, raspberry, cranberry, rose petals, vanilla, spice and an earthiness.

This is a medium bodied wine with medium acidity and medium fine tannins with a long red fruit finish. Heading into the weekend I wish everyone an enjoyable one. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy your family. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷

Since 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin has built a reputation for wines that primarily reflect their individual terroir and vintage. Medium Ruby with pure red fruit on the youthful nose,100% Pinot Noir. On the palate, this dry red has flavors of cherry and strawberry with a bit of licorice. Medium+ acidity with fine soft tannins on medium finish. Good now, still vibrant.

Tonight's wine is the 2014 Joseph Drouhin Côte de Beaune-Villages.

The nose has notes of cherry, red raspberry, pomegranate, clove, cola, cinnamon, black olive, vanilla and smokey oak.

The palate gives us tart cherry, tart raspberry, cranberry, vanilla, mushroom, sweet wood, smokey oak and earth.

This wine is medium bodied well integrated with medium + acidity and medium smooth tannin that leads to a pleasant medium finish. Continued safe travels through the week. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷

This is nice now with lots of sour cherry, but give it time.

Burgundy isn't my area of expertise but I really enjoyed this one. Beautiful balance between soft, supple and lively. At $17 I'm tempted to buy again...

Enjoyed this quite a bit. Cherries, a little matchstick reduction, lean and youthful with fresh acidity.
