Bourgogne, Rouge, 2021
Finely crushed strawberries with a whisper of verdant freshness. Silky and feather-light in structure, with touches of iris on the mid-palate. A barely-there yet joyful finessed Bourgogne from the Volnay commune, with vines averaging 30 years.
critic reviews
The 2021 Bourgogne Pinot Noir exhibits attractive aromas of sweet red berries, rose petals, orange zest and spices. Medium-bodied, supple and seamless, with melting tannins and a saline finish, it's a strong effort in this challenging year.
The 2021 Bourgogne Rouge has a pretty nose, understated, bashful even, a mixture of red and blue fruit that gently unfurls in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of sour cherry, slightly coarse tannins, a tad dry on the finish but there is satisfactory length. Drink over the next 3-5 years.
