What We Think
Vin Chicago: 92 Points
(6/2026) This is an excellent Pinot Noir from a south/southeast facing 1er Cru site in Auxey Duresses. The juice is fermented for 5 to 6 weeks in vats and then aged on the fine lees for 12 months in oak casks, 30% of which are new. Dark berry and cherry notes pop out of the glass, along with black tea and a hint of dark chocolate. This wine is drinking great now but will also age wonderfully for at least 3 to 5 years.
