Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France

Tasting Notes

Layered texture and ripe tannins, round on the palate, followed by a long, satisfying finish. This Santenay is definitely a food wine, with its accessible style and firm yet rich structure. Aging potential 8 to 10 years. Superb value in a Premier Cru Burgundy.

Bordeaux Bard – 89 Points

A bit of a letdown. Finding value in Burgundy is always a challenge! I should have tempered my expectations, though the price for a Premier Cru was tempting. While it’s a solid bottle overall, it doesn’t offer the best ‘value.’ Ready to drink the moment the cork was pulled and went down smoothly with lots of ripe fruit. However, it lacks real complexity and structure. Still, an enjoyable, easy-drinking wine. (Carson McEvoy). 

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with grilled steak, roast chicken, and most cheeses, classic pairings include salmon, mushrooms, and duck.
