Seductive black cherry nose that opens up to fleshy red cherry, and a mouth-filling satin texture on the palate. Incredibly luscious. Medium-bodied but packed with flavour and character. Pair with holiday turkey for a special treat.

Reviews and Ratings

This French Pinot Noir was harvested September 25, 2012 from 2,70 hectares of vineyards. The average age of the old vines is 42-72 years old. The density of planting is 10,000 feet per hectare, and a production of 46 hectalitres per hectare. The exposure of the vineyard is south-east, the soils clay-limestone and the altitude is 260 metres above sea level. Smoother in style than the Chambolle and Vosne Pinot Noirs. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
