Community Tasting Notes (1)

  • Immediate note of oak on the nose that only goes away with aggressive swirling. The color is quite dark and there’s some meaningful extraction here. It’s not charmless, and it’s not going to be confused with Olivier Bernstein, but why is the winemaker (and the cooper) fighting the terroir so hard? What should be a nimble and svelte wine (it’s Chambolle Fuees!) is largely overwhelmed by oak and the extraction is overdone. Faiveley remains Burgundy for a Cali pinot drinker’s palate.
