Heater week; 3/26/2023-4/3/2023 (Chicago, IL): Served single blind. A really nice wine, to be sure, with its mix of red and black fruit, but I found this a little woodsy for BG, and the oak definitely poked through a little more than I really would have cared for, especially coming off my experiences with other wines from Berthaut. Don't get me wrong -- this is a really interesting and compelling pinot, but I think it paled in comparison to the lighter and more lifted Hervelets, and would stand to benefit very much with additional time.

quasi irréprochable avec ses beaux parfums et ses tanins soyeux mais il y a comme un excès de douceur dans le fruit qui ne me plait pas particulièrement (qui peut convenir aux entrées de gamme cependant), peut être l'effet millésime; peut être ouvert trop tôt, je n'ai connu que 2019 chez ce domaine

Nose: Aromatic with perfectly ripe raspberry and a lot of cotton candy Palate: Raspberry coulis with a touch of sweetness, richly textured/nice concentration on a medium body, well balanced, powdery tannins, shortish finish. 91+ now. 92-93 in 15 years? Wine will benefit from added secondary notes and letting that cotton candy note settle down.

No note taken. Recall this being subtle red fruit and earth. Young. Some enjoyment now, but worth waiting until 2026+. Medium body. 92+
