What a delicious, minty, red fruit style red Burgundy! This paired great with ricotta stuffed ravioli with caramelized onions. I am glad we cased up on this.

This had more authentic French country flavor packed into it than I thought could be in a 750. The wild nose was full of black pepper, cherry and Burgundian savor. In the mouth it had solid medium body as well as great cut for our flavory beer-butt chicken.

Tear up the vintage chart, forget about the dominance of Chardonnay in Chassagne- this is a delicious red Burgundy. This Colin has sappy fruit, seamless texture and great fresh, red Pinot fruit. This wine has generous aromatics and flavors- after an hour in the decanter it was completely open, yet never stopped offering interest. This delivers on the promise of good Burgundy- a far rarer bird than great Burgundy, at a very fair price!

Tasty, but pretty one dimensional. Like a leaner Sonoma Coast pinot maybe.
