Pinot Noir

While we continue to expand our collection of Burgundies, more and more new-world winemakers are coming to terms with this challenging variety. Australians have identified Geelong, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria as suited to premium Pinot Noir. More recently, Tasmania has shot up the ranks. Mount Mary, Farr Rising and Tolpuddle are names to seek out. New Zealand is also producing some compelling, full bodied wines. Look for regions like Martinborough, Marlborough and Central Otago.

2019 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$1350. 00
Bottle
$16200.00 Dozen

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
A riper and more restrained nose requires some swirling to reveal its aromas of plum liqueur, blue berry, cassis, earth and a more restricted range of spice elements. The bigger and richer flavors possess an opulent richness and a velvety texture that coats the palate and enrobes the firmer tannic spine shaping the powerful, tautly muscular and strikingly persistent finale. This too possesses superb development potential though patience definitely advised. Drink 2034+.

Black centre with a purple rim. The Bonnes Mares offers a denser, darker and more sombre nose coming after the explosive Amoureuses. Altogether a firmer framework, then a hugely intense coulis of blackcurrant, nothing cooked and there is good acidity behind. Myrtilles adds François. Intense more than magisterial. Not quite so persistent as the Amoureuses.

A wonderfully fresh and cool nose reflects aromas of plum, violet and lovely spice wisps. There is fine mid-palate density to the appealingly textured middle weight flavors that exude evident minerality on the refreshing, focused and well-balanced finale where a touch of austerity slowly appears. A Chambolle villages of finesse and grace that should mature slowly over the next decade. Drink 2029+.

Dense black centre to this. Dark plums, very intense, not cooked, though also very plummy on the palate, in that sense atypical. Good acidity and avoids the dry. Had to be light on extraction and still all this comes out. I like the finish.

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
A fresh if slightly jammy nose speaks of cassis, red and dark cherry and lovely spice wisps. The sleek but succulent medium-bodied flavors retain a lovely sense of underlying tension to the saline-inflected if decidedly firm finish that exhibits excellent length. This is definitely a structured and youthfully austere Chambolle villages that's going to require at least some patience as it's quite compact today.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a lovely black cherry and boysenberry scented, quite floral in style, with hints of wet limestone in the background. The palate is fresh on the entry, delivering vibrant black fruit infused with orange zest and hints of cassis. Opulent in style, but counterbalanced by the tension and especially the nervosité on the finish. Excellent.

This comes mostly from Les Porlottes with the addition of two small plots (0.15ha each) of 1ers crus Les Baudes and Les Fuées. Black centre with purple rim, a feeling of freshness. I expected black fruit to follow on the palate but it is more in a ripe raspberry and deep cherry, with the latter giving the feeling of freshness. It is exceptionally concentrated and the tannins will take a little longer in barrel to soften.

A highly expressive and ultra-elegant nose flashes a strikingly pretty array of spice and floral elements on the dark raspberry and cassis-suffused aromas. The graceful and lilting middle weight flavors also possess a really lovely sense of underlying tension that adds lift to the chiseled, stony and sneaky long finish. This too should be approachable after 6 to 8 years but amply reward 15+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru has a bewitching bouquet of ample black cherry, blueberry and violet aromas, a quintessential Amoureuses defined by its purity and controlled opulence. The palate is, again, extremely pure and caressing, offering sorbet-like freshness and palpable energy, and delivering a crescendo of flavor as it fans out on the finish with blueberry, cassis, crushed stone and blood orange notes. Fabulous.

Neal Martin - Vinous
Black in colour again with thin purple band at the rim. François Millet wanted to do the tasting with black glasses so as to prevent tasters being put off by the depth of the colours in 2018! Inky depths here, much more black fruit. At the moment this somewhat hides the usual opulent magic of Les Amoureuses. There are black plums and blackberry juice instead, and a heavyweight finish. But ask again in 20 years when my conservative score may look foolish.

$1499. 00
Bottle
$17988.00 Dozen

ABV: 14%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
A ripe and super-fresh nose offers up notes of black raspberry, plum liqueur, Asian-style tea and a whiff of incense. The racy, intense and mineral-driven big-bodied flavors retain outstanding delineation as well as an abundance of palate soaking dry extract before delivering stunningly good length where an interesting hint of citrus character in the form of mandarin orange appears. This incredibly powerful effort is both classy and highly complex and like the Bonnes Mares, is a wine that will live for decades. With that said, it's not so backward and compact to preclude it being approachable after only 10 to 12 years. A knockout by any standard.

The 2018 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is even darker than the Bonnes-Mares. It has a spectacular bouquet of intense black fruit, blueberries and shucked oyster shells, the mineralité heightened over the Bonnes-Mares and lending a great deal of precision. The palate is medium-bodied with blueberry, boysenberry and black currant fruit, extraordinary tension, razor-sharp acidity and a dash of white pepper on the crystalline finish. One of the finest Musignys I have tasted from barrel at de Vogüé.

This is almost always the domaine's best 1er and so it appears to be again in 2015 with its ultra-floral and spicy nose of red currant and softly exotic Asian-style tea aromas. There is a wonderfully refined and seductive mouth feel to the delicious and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate with abundant dry extract, all wrapped in a hugely long finish that is shaped by dense by fine tannins. This is a first-rate Suchots though one that is expressly built-to-age. Drink 2027+.

Dark red-ruby. Incredible nose melds black raspberry, licorice, Asian spices, minerals and cocoa powder. Densely packed and powerfully structured but the wine's finesse of texture ensures a magical light touch. Pungent minerality and floral character give the middle palate rare energy for the vintage, belying the wine's 3.75 pH. Finishes savory and extremely long, with late-arriving tannins saturating the sides of the teeth. I find this a bit tighter today than the 2016 version, and indeed Confuron says the tannins here are a bit less ripe. But he's splitting hairs. Offers a compelling combination of sensuality and power. Drink 2026-2042.

Like the Suchots this is markedly floral in nature with a slightly darker fruit profile and an even wider range of spice elements.

Once again, patience absolutely required. Drink 2030+.

Bright red-ruby. Wonderfully sappy scents of black cherry and boysenberry are considerably more expressive today than those of the 2016. Suave and spicy on the palate, showing compelling sweetness to its red and black fruit flavors. There's a hint of coffee here but none of the exotic qualities of the preceding 2015s. Finishes compellingly long, with chewy but refined tannins and a captivating combination of sweet and savory notes. With its uncanny freshness and energy, this wonderfully precise wine is likely to require as much aging as the Suchots. Drink 2025-2040.

Bright red-ruby; a bit less saturated than the Nuits-Saint-Georges but still deep for the year. Lively aromas and flavors of black raspberry, violet and minerals. Dense, very ripe and juicy, conveying a lovely combination of sweetness and energy. Finishes very long, with a serious mass of ripe tannins and enough ripe acidity to leaven its pronounced sucrosité and stimulate the salivary glands. "Like a Spanish lady educated in Switzerland" is how Confuron described this very ripe but lively wine.
90-92 points
Stephen Tanzer - Vinous

A higher-toned, pure and elegant mix features notes of red and dark currant, floral and plenty of soft spice wisps. The lacy, refined and more obviously mineral-inflected flavors possess excellent mid-palate density while retaining a refined mouthfeel on the dusty, tight and impressively long finish. This too is very much built-to-age but even so, among these four villages level wines, it will probably be the most approachable young. In sum, ageworthy Chambolle villages level wines don't get much better.

Lovely ripeness of fruit with excellent raspberry flavour and firm floury tannins on the palate. Already has an interesting ferrous complexity on the finish.

Other Reviews....
Bright red-ruby. Deeper-pitched aromas of medicinal cherry and musky herbs come across as less ripe than those of the Petite-Chapelle. In a distinctly leaner style, showing less stuffing to its rather laid-back flavors of cherry, minerals and herbs. Here the tongue-dusting tannins arrive earlier, giving the wine a rather disjointed impression. This wine strikes me as a bit less tasty than most of the foregoing samples, but I should note that it only finished its malolactic fermentation in September, which may partly explain its reserved character.
90-92 points
Stephen Tanzer - Vinous

Here too there is enough reduction and wood influence to overshadow the underlying fruit. There is superb intensity and mid-palate density to the overtly muscular, detailed and powerful broad-shouldered flavors that brim with both dry extract and minerality before delivering outstanding length and depth on the balanced if markedly austere and backward finish. This is terrific but I underscore that it would be largely pointless to open a bottle of this beauty young.

Cask sample. More meaty and savoury than their Petite-Chapelle, and much more restrained and austere on the palate. Boxy structure, flashes of bitter, herby character to finish.

Somewhat surprisingly this is even more floral with its cool and ultra-fresh nose of various dark berries, sandalwood and a lovely array of spices. I very much like the seductive texture of the big-bodied flavors that aren't quite as dense or structured as those of the Suchots but they're notably finer, all wrapped in a dusty, palate coating and gorgeously long finish. Excellent.

Deep bright red-ruby. Blackberry, licorice and violet aromas are sharpened by the remaining malic acidity. Juicy, precise and imploded, with the wine's chiseled aspect no doubt accentuated by the malic acidity. Firm tannins saturate the palate on the very long finish.

An exuberantly spicy nose displays a plethora of floral nuances on the black cherry and cassis scents. There is outstanding concentration to the velvet-textured and broad-shouldered flavors that coat the palate with sap while buffering the very firm tannic spine on the equally well-balanced and again built-to-age finale. Here too patience is mandatory.

Suchots; still a bit of malic acidity remaining): Deep red-ruby. Aromas of blackberry, licorice and cocoa powder. Dense, sappy and sweet, communicating excellent depth to its flavors of black raspberry, menthol and minerals. Finishes sappy, ripe and very long, with sweet tannins covered by black fruits.

Moderate wood sets off an intensely floral and highly-spiced nose that exhibits aromas of dark cherry, cassis, plum and sandalwood.

In a word, excellent. Drink 2031+.

Full ruby-red. Knockout nose combines tangy black raspberry, black cherry and licorice aromas lifted by high notes of flowers and blood orange. A dense, sappy, compellingly smooth wine with grand cru texture and class. Incredibly silky, broad flavors of dark fruits, violet, coffee and cocoa powder convey a weightless quality. Confuron's large parcel of vines (2.13 hectares) lies very close to Domaine Leroy's Romanée-Saint-Vivant. Finishes with utterly refined, late-arriving tannins and extraordinary building length that leaves the taste buds vibrating. Confuron compared this wine to the legendary '47 and '49 vintages.

20% whole bunch vinification from Herbues, Lavières and Allots, one third of each. Dense black centre, nutty walnut nose, very concentrated. Massive on the palate, ultra-concentrated, essence of densely concentrated pinot juice. Not hot, not cooked but just so concentrated that one wonders when it will come round.

Older vines on the Vosne side of the appellation. Really intense black with purple rim. Lush luxuriant cherries, sun-dried but sumptuous. There is a huge weight of fruit with good acidity, and a very long finish in this lush style. No more than 14% alcohol. This is still a touch too lush for my personal preference, but I think it will make a lot of friends.

The Confuron-Gindre holding is on a strip with lots of stones, that needs to be picked early. Deep purple to black, a beautiful concentrated nose in which the fruit is really expressive.

This branch of the Confuron family took over the Suchots vines after pruning. They have made five barrels, vinified with one third whole bunches. Medium to deep purple, very generous in the mouth, does not fall away too far as can happen with Suchots. A bit more feel of whole bunch here, dries the finish a touch now but will fill out. Good aftertaste, though discreet as Suchots tends to be.

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Cork

Domaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot produce exceptional Burgundy, yet are still firmly under the radar for many collectors. Given they enjoy an enviable collection of six Grand Cru vineyards, and the expert winemaking skills shown by the talented Thomas Colladot, Coquard Loison-Fleurot won't remain hidden for long.
For many years the grapes from the property were sold to negociants, however as these contracts begun to expire in the early 2000's they started taking back the production, and brought on Thomas Colladot in 2010 to oversee winemaking duties. While not certified, organic practices are used in the vineyards, with all fruit hand harvested and whole cluster fermentation used where and as desired depending on the plot and vintage conditions. New oak varies between 30-50% for most wines, and élevage lasts between 15 and 18 months, before bottling is conducted in-house. The wines of Coquard Loison-Fleurot are characterised by their purity and transparency of their terroirs.
Other Reviews....
A lovely bright purple, with a stunning bouquet. I want to gulp this straight way. Really classy on the palate, with a precise crisp finish. A joyous wine showing that you can make fabulous pinot at higher yields (55 hl/ha in this case) now that the grapes ripen properly. Drink from 2025-2028.

A ripe yet agreeably fresh nose reflects mostly notes of various red berries and a touch of earth. The middleweight flavors possess a beguiling texture as well as good energy that carries over to the dusty, mildly austere, inviting and balanced finale. Lovely and a wine to enjoy young.

This also displays that lovely coulis character on the black raspberry and poached plum nose that, along with the Grands Ech, is the most floral-inflected in the range. There is again excellent volume to the dense and palate soaking broad-shouldered flavors that exhibit outstanding power on the refreshing yet absolutely built-to-age finale.

The palate is medium-bodied with supple, saturated tannins, the fleshy/puppy fat almost disguising the backbone present here. Very persistent on the finish, this is an excellent, luxurious and yet sophisticated Clos de la Roche. Drink 2026-2052.

Neal Martin - Vinous
Boasting a big rich purple colour, the Clos de la Roche’s early malolactic may explain why this has a more beautiful bouquet, pure pinot fragrance, admittedly in a ripe register. Deeply sweet red and black fruit, largely raspberry, lush at first, more of the raw silk style behind. Good length and beautifully balanced.

2020 Domaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$770. 00
Bottle
$9240.00 Dozen

ABV: 14.5%

Closure: Cork

It is exceptionally rare to happen upon a new Burgundy domaine that is both set for greatness and firmly under the radar in equal measure. Domaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot (CLF) is such a property, however given they enjoy an enviable collection of six Grand Cru vineyards, and the exceptional winemaking skills shown by the talented Thomas Colladot, CLF won't remain hidden for long. For many years the grapes from the property were sold to negociants, however as these contracts begun to expire in the early 2000's they started taking back the production, and brought on Thomas Colladot in 2010 to oversee winemaking duties.
While not certified, organic practices are used in the vineyards, with all fruit hand harvested and whole cluster fermentation used where and as desired depending on the plot and vintage conditions. New oak varies between 30-50% for most wines, and élevage lasts between 15 and 18 months, before bottling is conducted in-house. The wines of Domaine Coquard Loison Fleurot are characterised by their purity and transparency of their terroirs.
Other Reviews....
A fresh and unusually expressive nose features notes of red and dark cherry, white pepper and a hint of kirsch. The delicious and intense middle weight flavors possess fine depth and persistence on the equally youthfully austere finale that is also sufficiently austere to easily repay 12+ years of cellaring. Fine quality here. Drink from 2032+.

The 2020 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a very pure and quite precocious bouquet with black cherries, crushed violet and peony aromas, actually not unlike a Romanée-Saint-Vivant in style. Thet palate is succulent on the entry with candied orange peel infusing the mainly black fruit that merges into more red fruit towards the velvety finish. Quite gorgeous. Drink 2026-2048.

Neal Martin - Vinous
The Clos Vougeot has just finished malolactic so is difficult to read. Perhaps the deepest darkest colour of the cellar. The nose is very backward, blackcurrant and elderberry with very dark raspberry. Slightly dry tannins but I put that down to the late malolactic. Peppery notes here.

This is aromatically similar to the Morey but with more earth influence that extends to the sleek, vibrant and slightly bigger medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent depth and persistence on the youthfully austere finale.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, which comes from three lieux-dits, has another intense bouquet with dark cherries, violet and touches of cassis fruit, a light sea spray scent in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a spicy, quite pepper entry. Just a little disjointed towards the finish, nevertheless, it should cohere by the time of bottling and there is fine persistence.

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Village is a blend of two lieux-dits, La Violette with 40% whole bunch and Quartier de Nuits with nary a stem. It has fine delineation and focus on the nose, very pure and with the appellation’s trademark floral lift. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, silky smooth but maybe it does not quite expand like the excellent Morey-Saint-Denis on the finish. Still, this should drink well over the next decade. Drink 2024-2038.

Neal Martin - Vinous
Thomas has enough fruit to vinify two vats, using 40% whole bunches for Les Violettes and none for Quartiers de Nuits, to make 20% for the whole cuvée which is assembled as soon as the wine goes to barrel. Vibrant purple, a very heady nose, slightly heated lush raspberry. But the nobility of the terroir shows through in the mouth where the raspberries are less lush and are joined by a few strawberries. Good acidity, considerable length.

Matured in around one-third new oak, the 2014 Vosne Romanée le Clos d'Eugenie was stubbornly closed when I tasted it from barrel, though there is a light marine influence that appears with aeration. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, good density here, and a touch of oak to be subsumed on the finish. It is nicely focused, although it just feels a little static at the moment. Drink 2017 - 2024.

(from a crop level of 31 hectoliters per hectare and vinified with one-third whole clusters): Bright medium red. Darker and riper on the nose than the basic village bottling, showing good lift to its aromas of black cherry, dark berries, licorice and violet. This juicy, dry, rather elegantly styled wine offers an attractive balance of berry intensity and saline minerality. Finishes with suave tannins and very good subtle length. No shortage of volume in this excellent village bottling. Drink 2020 - 2028.

Cool, pure and airy aromas are comprised by a plethora of spice and floral elements on the essence of plum, black cherry and exotic tea scents.

This also needs to add depth but that shouldn't be an issue if it is allowed sufficient time. Drink 2031+.

There is just enough reductive funk in evidence here as well to push what appear to be notably ripe fruit aromas to the background. I very much like the sense of energy to the lustrously textured broad-shouldered flavors that possess fine mid-palate density as well as a subtle minerality that progressively emerges as the long finish sits on the palate. This is very clearly built-to-age yet there is so much supporting extract that it should actually be approachable much younger than my suggested drinking window would indicate. In a word, terrific.

The 2015 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru has a more ravishing and ripe bouquet than the Clos du Roi: bold black cherries mingling with raspberry coulis and boysenberry jam. It does gain more composure as it mellows in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and focused and not as "heavy" as the Clos du Roi, the finish demonstrating a degree of finesse that the Clos du Roi needs to manifest. This is a well-crafted Corton that should yield a dozen years of drinking pleasure.

Ruby-red. Wild, slightly reduced aromas of blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, minerals, leather and game. Fine-grained and quite dry, even a bit stunted in the middle palate in the early going; not at all a blockbuster. But this juicy, primary, youthfully imploded wine boasts terrific energy. The long finish leaves behind a pungent note of tart cherry. This grand cru should be a long ager.

Full ruby-red. Darker and more reticent on the nose than the Bressandes, conveying a stronger element of stony minerality and a note of licorice. Then vivacious and sharply delineated in the mouth but much more closed than the Bressandes owing to its mineral energy. Finishes with suave, fine-grained tannins and excellent grip. Very classy juice!

The ripe and ultra-fresh aromas are from the darker side of the fruit spectrum while including plenty of spice, warm earth, menthol and plenty of sauvage character. There is both fine detail and a beguiling texture to the equally broad-shouldered and even more mineral-inflected flavors that possess even better complexity on the balanced and hugely long finish. Unusually, this appears to be just a bit less structured than the Bressandes and should also be approachable on the younger side if that's your preference.

There is a pronounced ripeness to the less elegant and much more sauvage-inflected aromas of cassis, plum liqueur, freshly turned earth and forest floor nuances. The palate impression though is more like that of the Bressandes in that it's muscular yet reasonably refined while evidencing focused power on the well-balanced and gorgeously persistent finish. I very much like the mouth feel thanks to the dense but fine-grained tannins and this should also amply reward extended cellaring.

The 2015 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru has more finesse than the premier crus from Volnay and Pommard that preceded it during my tasting at the domaine, quite floral with pure dark black cherry and hints of anise developing with aeration. The palate has a gentle grip in the mouth. The tannins feel firm lending this masculinity, although there appears to be sufficient fruit to back it up. There is pleasant saline aftertaste in situ although I would like to see more finesse developing during the remainder of its barrel maturation.

Neal Martin - Wine Advocate #228 (Dec 2016)

Full ruby. Austere nose hints at black fruits, licorice and soil tones, with a violet element emerging with air. Broad and deep but utterly primary and unforthcoming. The dark fruit flavors showed increasing creaminess as the wine opened in the glass, but this very firmly structured wine will need extended aging to absorb its substantial tongue-coating tannins and to reveal its full personality. The longest of these 2015s to this point.

Racked this morning. Quite a dense purple. Definitely the darker side of raspberry on the nose.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Bel-Air 1er Cru contains 50% whole bunch. Bunches of rose petals and violets on the very floral bouquet, this is well-defined and quite expressive. The palate is medium-bodied with blackberry and raspberry fruit, quite dense for Bel-Air with a structured and slightly saline finish. Give this 3-5 years in bottle. Drink 2025-2042.

53% whole bunches. Darker crimson to purple. A pleasing bouquet with more cherry here than most. The cherries are very expressive every year, even in the fermenting vat, Sylvie notes. Quite powerful by Vougeraie standards with a drier finish.

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

An ultra-floral inflected nose speaks of spicy dark berry fruit aromas laced with hints of earth, game and again, a smoky hint. The sleek, intense and beautifully refined larger-scaled flavors possess a beguiling texture while exuding a bracing salinity on the firm, youthfully austere and well-balanced finale. This too needs better depth, but more should develop if it's allowed at least 6 to 8 years of cellar time. Drink through 2032+.

The 2020 Corton Clos du Roi Grand Cru contains 100% whole bunch this year. I appreciate the aromatics here - well-defined, fragrant and quite floral, there offers fine mineralité and tension. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very harmonious with a bead of acidity that lends finesse and elegant towads the finish. This is clever winemaking and a successful Corton. Excellent. Drink 2024-2045.

100% whole bunch. Fairly deep purple, a certain amount of new wood showing. This starts very discreetly, especially the bouquet, then builds very well on the palate, with some darker fruit, middleweight, some tannins, but on the whole long and smooth.

2019 Domaine de la Vougeraie Musigny Grand Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$1750. 00
Bottle
$21000.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

This is also quite pure and cool with its restrained if wonderfully broad-ranging nose that includes plum liqueur, black raspberry, rose petal, violet and a whiff of exotic Asian-style tea. Like the Bonnes Mares, this is not a big or especially dense Musigny, but I really like the sophisticated and classy texture of the intense and sleekly muscular flavors that possess excellent focus and drive on the youthfully austere and hugely long finish. Like the Mazoyères, this is very much built for extended cellaring and is a blend of power and finesse. Drink 2039+.

From Vougeraie’s two plots, the 2019 Musigny Grand Cru was sorted with Mozart’s Greatest Hits playing in the background (not joking) and includes 100% whole bunch. The exquisite bouquet of beautifully defined mineral-driven red and black fruit does this noble vineyard justice. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, good grip and depth. Quite sweet and ripe, it offers candied red fruit laced with orange zest and a touch of cassis toward the long finish. Gorgeous. Drink 2024 - 2048.

100% whole bunch vinification. Most of the vines date back to 1928-29 with a few from 1989. Glowing imperial purple. The nose mirrors the majesty. Starts discreetly then swells on the palate. The wine is entirely harmonious with perfectly integrated light touch of acidity. It is very far from being massive but it is a beauty nonetheless.

An obsession with a fickle varietal.

Once you experience it, you never forget it. For some wine lovers, Pinot Noir becomes an obsession. While promising one of world's greatest wine experiences, it can also deliver some of the most disappointing. What is it about Pinot that makes it so frustratingly variable? There are known quality factors which offer encouragement to winemakers. Micro-climates have been observed to play an important part in a successful matrix, particularly the diurnal temperature range. Pinot Noir is a little like Riesling, in the sense that it requires warm, but not overly hot days and cool nights to fully develop its maximum flavour potential. Sunshine hours, rainfall, time and rate of precipitation are all important. Countering this is the fact that the same clone will not respond to differences in micro-climate in the same way. Older vines make better wines. Creative and adaptive viticultural management and winemaking are essential. Buy Pinot Noir online. Any questions about our products or shipping?
