Natalie's Score: 91/100

A delightful, medium-bodied satin-smooth pinot noir that's produced by a partnership between one of Niagara's best wineries, Tawse, and this Burgundian domaine. Lovely tart cherry notes throughout, great mouth-watering acidity for food and a long finish. The grapes are grown mostly in Pommard vineyards, with some coming from the Marsannay district of Burgundy. This is a terrific price for Old World pinot noir. Very mouth-watering with great acidity for a wide range of dishes from planked salmon to roast chicken.

Pinot Noir food pairings: cedar-planked salmon, roast beef, turkey, pork tenderloin, coq au vin.

Reviews and Ratings

Terry Jeans - Certified S rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This is a lovely, well-balanced Burgundy pinot noir from a partnership between Pascal Marchand and one of my favorite Ontario producers- Tawse. It has some refined notes of ripe cherries that carries through to the palate, with some zippy acidity which makes this a very food friendly wine. If you are looking for a premium burgundy pinot for a reasonable price, this is a good choice. Can be paired with a variety of dishes from grilled trout to jerk chicken.
