Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Meyer lemon, almond oil, crushed stone.

Perfect on a warm night outside. Complex and crunchy but very easy to enjoy.

Very poised and very oaky.

Good fruit; heavy handed elevage.

A Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Rouge is better than a lot of producers' Vosne-Romaneés.

Really delicious. ££ is a bit crazy for a Bourgogne rouge but it's mightily impressive.

Corked

Tastes like baby Vosne Romanée to me! So much asphalt aroma and earth I imagine it's a baby Reignots--perhaps young replanted vines? Dark fruit is here but it plays second fiddle to the massive earthy elements. Heat sticks out on the midpalate a touch, but doesn't prevent this from being a monstrous red with an accumulative aroma that brings vinyl to mind. Curious to see where a short term aging curve would take this. Sebastien gleefully acknowledges this is his finest Bourgogne ever. Even with its flaws, Bourgogne should not be able to achieve these aromatic heights!

Nice Bourgogne, even 2017 but drinking nicely!

Solid Pinot. Yum.
