Pinot Noir
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 89
Medium red. Redcurrant, violet and a whiff of smoke on the nose. Supple on entry, then tight in the middle, showing an iron-like nuance to its redcurrant and torrefaction flavors. Finishes sappy, savory and a bit youthfully dry. Many of these 2010s lead with their black fruits, but this wine is distinctly red in character.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2013
Burgundy is home to some of the greatest and most expensive wines in the world. Stretching from Auxerre in the north to Lyon in the south, the region's most famous section is the limestone-rich Côte d'Or. Vineyards in Burgundy are classified according to their locations on the hillsides. Only 2% of total production is from grand cru sites, while premier cru and village-level wines are more common. It is rare for one domaine to own an entire vineyard; rather the land has been divided down to individual rows, in some cases as a result of inheritance laws. While other varieties can be found in Burgundy, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reign supreme. The best examples are capable of aging for 15 years or more, a rarity for these two varieties, making them highly valuable.
