Winemaker Notes
From a lesser-known yet ideally situated terroir which tends ripen early, this red displays plenty of ripe strawberry fruit with hints of sweet spice and smoky earth. The generous and supple texture is never heavy yet lends a great sense of volume and pleasure on the palate. This medium-bodied red shows a graceful finish and drinks exceptionally well at this early stage.

This hearty, rustic Burgundy retains freshness in flavors of cherries shading from the simple juice of bruised fruit to the bitterness of the pits. It has depth, generosity and clarity, ready to enjoy now with Cantonese roast duck

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
A source of some of the most delightful Pinot Noir in Beaune, Chorey-les-Beaune is a great place to start exploring red Burgundies that do not command a great deal of cellar time. In style, they are akin to the reds of Aloxe-Corton but more fruit forward and approachable in their youth.
