Les Grands Chaillots Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Opened about an hour before our Thanksgiving meal. The 2019 “Les Grands Chaillots” has gorgeous aromatics: fresh, red, crunchy forest berries, spring time air and just a whiff of horse blanket. On the palate, delicious fresh strawberries and cherries with calcareous minerals. Good structure, with medium tannin and medium+ acid. A love accompaniment to the meal. Drink now or over the next 10 years.

Needs a couple more years.

Mushrooms and forest floor. Mild finish. Good Bourgogne grown 5 feet from their 1er Cru vines.

Love this producer through and through.

Some interesting evergreen or pine going on. Completely different wine from my last tasting a few years ago.

Drunk too young, guilty again, must be the carpe diem...generous red acid fruit, tipicity, length and easy drinking, though the tannins are intense at this stage

intensely delicious & fairly good value.

Lots of character. Some bret. Good body.

Moderate VA. Too bad, some nice underlying fruit.

2021 vintage. Great producer and rarely see such an esteemed one with availability/affordability. Had to pounce. $120 on the local bistro list and was worth every penny. Medium/medium-heavy body. Chilled it down for 15 mins and pounced. Consistent palate representation with a harmonious, zippy cracked black pepper exeunt. Hit the spot perfectly. Didn't pair perfectly with the pork chop (bone in) avec fig/port reduction sauce but didn't care about grub at that point. 7.23.24.
