Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 23, 2021 - Mostly Champagne & Burgs (VVF, Krug, DP, Rousseau, Fourrier,…): Tasted double blind. One of the big surprise of the tasting, this to me unknown Pinot Noir from Switzerland came surpassed many heavyweights in this tasting, partly of course, because it is more mature (despite a younger age) than Burgundy Grand Crus. The wine has a lot of depth paired with good complexity and despite a few hard edges is already in a beautiful drinking window but has the structure and fruit to age further. Burgundian in style, this is a stunning achievement from this winery.

TN: Medium expressive nose with nice candied soft and round fruit with strawberries, blueberries and even some black hints. Some candied fruit. Then a lot of spices. On the palate this explodes with a ripe but not too ripe fruit core, stems, minerality, some herbs and spices, cola. Not as well defined as some other Burgs tonight but still on a good level. High quality tannins but still a touch masculine, medium acidity, creamy texture with good presence from the attack to the finish. Quite complete showing.

Decanting: Not decanted, no extensive decanting necessary.
