Importer: Rosenthal

Notes: Moderate aroma of
deep black cherry fruit with hints of forest and wet metal/stone. Loads of black cherry fruit with a pleasant
earthy note and an edge of dry wood.
Plenty of tangy acidity and rich minerality. Finishes long with more fruit, dry leaves,
and a hint of candy sweetness. Mild
tannins.
This is another interesting
example of Burgundian Pinot Noir. While
it shares a certain style with the other Cornu wines I have drunk recently
(primarily a freshness and fruit-forward character), it is a bit more refined
and complex, befitting its premier cru status.
While enjoyable to drink, it does lack the funk and some of the
earthy/barnyard complexity that really makes Burgundy
appeal to me, perhaps a consequence of its somewhat humble appellation. The acidity and minerality give this wine a
freshness and vivacity that is sometimes lacking in more “serious” red
Burgundies.
Value: Average
