A luscious example of pinot noir with solid red and dark fruit notes and a microcosm of floral, loamy forest floor on the palate. Savour now or 10 years from now.
From their Silvershot Vineyard, this Pinot Noir is dense with fruit, dried herbs, and tannins that will soften with time or a strong decant. A wine built for the long haul.
This one sees a touch of oak, but for the most part it's the fruit that's the star. A subdued amount of that earthy quality, underlying scrumptious cherry and red fruit notes.
Recchione's Pinot Noirs are powerful wines from some of the rustic villages at the northern end of the Cote de Nuits. This wine, already with six years of age to it, has smoothed out some of its rough edges and now shows incredible depth and strong tannin for a special dinner.
Jeremy Recchione is a young negociant winemaker in Burgundy working with fruit from all over the region but his cellar is in Gevrey-Chambertin, the village where this wine is grown and raised. For most of his wines only a barrel or two is made every year. This Pinot Noir, from the Creux Brouillard vineyard, is deep and intoxicating with black fruit, spice, and gamey aromas.
The Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Pinot Noir from the village of Segrois is made in a lighter style, easier drinking at younger ages, and in the great vintages compares very well to more famous Burgundy villages.
