Very harmonious and balanced, fruity, but never cheesy Pinot with beautiful acid, strawberry fruit and some mint. A great value and great for everyday uncomplicated enjoyment with claim. My first Ballorin, but not the last.

This says pinot noir right there on the bottle but tasted blind I sure would have said gamay. Very tart, softened up a little over the evening. Minerals, maybe some apples, not the fruitiest stuff ever.

Quel joli pinot noir, et bio en plus! Le nez au départ est déroutant, tellement sur le fruit (framboise, cassis, cerise bigarreau), presque calé sur une belle Syrah rhodanienne, alliant pivoine et discrète violette, le tout dans la fraîcheur bien entendu, dans un style moderne et pur. Ensuite, la bouche se montre ronde et concentrée, dotée de tanins fins encore un peu serrés, néanmoins, elle est un peu courte, car la finale fraîche et levurée casse les beaux arômes du départ. Belle élégance d'ensemble en tout cas, cela donne envie de découvrir le domaine plus avant...

Sour cherry, raspberry tea and cellery seeds. Good lift, reasonable fruit, nice savory notes.

Cigar on the nose with a mushroomy finish. One of the more robust Pinots I've had. Like it.
