Divinely inspired. Which is more perfect? The aromas that transport one to a superbloom on the Canary Islands (never been there) or the mouth flavors that wash over and persist in one’s mind? I have friends who decry “natural” products like this one. I will offer no comment on their positions. This is one of those few occasions where a wine lover might legitimately choose to open a second bottle the same evening. All that’s stopping me is my BAC and knowing that I wouldn’t have another bottle to look forward to. The Lord has been good to me.

2022 Domaine Migot Pinot Noir Côtes de Toul

1 of 6. I have been pestering my Detroit-area winemongers for 2-3 years to restock this wine for me. I don't recall what previous vintage I drank, but i was mad for its purity of flavor in a northern context. Finally events conspired reward my search. I had a taste a month or two ago and it seemed somewhat shrill, so when I finally opened a bottle several days ago I gave it a good hard decant, and didn't rush it onto the table. Despite that it was better after it had been opened for an hour or two, and the last 40% of the bottle was just fine the next evening. While the aromas are not especially developed (yet, I hope), that northern purity is very much evident. Can we agree that Pinot Noir, when done right, has certain characteristics of flavor that are as distinctive as any grape's. This wine captures that distinctiveness in a cool manner that doesn't carry any other baggage. So I look forward to the other bottles, and imagine that I will return to this wine in the next six months.

Not much to add to the three reviewers below. Meaty aromas. Great pinosity. (Wait, is there a cabosity, a syrahsity?) Marvelous drinking now but clearly will last for years. A delight for which I am immensely grateful.
