What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other. It's a vine that needs to struggle to produce great wines but when it does the depth of flavors that range from cherry to cola can be explosive and the wines' bright acidity and gentle tannins make them approachable and widely appealing,

Winemakers Notes

We have recently (May 2009) shipped this parcel of delicious villageSavigny, sourced through Nicolas Potel. Being from the superb 1999 vintage itis still full of energy and is all fruit with no aggressive tannins. One glasswill invite another one hard on its heels.

This started out a bit unfriendly, revealing a mostly ethanol nose and liquorice flavours, lacking fruit and unbalanced. After an hour or so it bloomed with resiny and banana flavours, and an incongruous icing-sugar sweetness; still out-of-balance, in my view, and a more interesting than enjoyable drinking experience.
