Joseph Drouhin Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2017
Burgundy, FranceThis entry-level pinot noir from leading negoc Joseph Drouhin came from a dozen appellations across Bourgogne. After a native ferment in stainless, this aged there for 8 months prior to bottling. Stewed cherry, raspberry, fills the shorter, juicy palate, seasoned with autumnal spices to a herbal, gently warming finish. A vast improvement from the last time I tasted, this is a fair glimpse at what pinot noir in its homeland can begin to be like.Tasted: 16 February 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $28.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
