A 15-month barrel aged Pinot hailing from the Beauregard climat in the southern Cote de Beaune – it offers layer upon layer of pure Pinot enjoyment from fruit notes like black cherry, cranberry and strawberry to floral, pepper and spice for extra finesse ... it’s lush, silky texture continues to push the fruit forward while still allowing the other elements to tone it back – a great balancing act.  Rating: ****+
