Tasting notes
Aromas of blueberries, strawberries, lemon zest and cinnamon stick. Itâs medium-bodied with soft tannins and bright acidity. Lively and gently spicy finish. Just a hint of vanilla. Drink now or hold. Better with a year or two of bottle age.

An appealingly fresh nose feature notes of both red and blue pinot fruit that is cut with plenty of earth. There is good richness and vibrancy to the caressing middle weight flavors that offer reasonably good depth and very good persistence on the only mildly rustic finish. This is a quality Bourgogne and worth a look.
Some ripeness of red cherry, but layered over with nuts, spice and smoke. Plush, plump and polished. Not that long, but well-crafted. (TJ)
The 2018 Bourgogne Rouge comes from vines toward Dijon. It has a delightful bouquet of ebullient red berry fruit, the 25% new oak nicely integrated. The smooth palate is medium-bodied with fleshy red fruit and a well-defined finish. Delicious.
