The bottle was given to me back in 2007 and I've had it in my cellar since. I'm glad I did not have it earlier. While only a Vin de Bourgogne, it appears from the past reviews that most may have drunk it too early to show its stuff. The color was a light rose red with slightly bricked edges. Nose was roses, cherries and dust. Tastes were primarily the same with very good balance and nice velvety tannin on the finish. Not a great Pinot but very nice drinking. I wish I could figure out the inexpensive French Pinots—which are ready to drink and which can be improved by cellaring….my opinion on this one is obvious that 4 years of cellaring improved the wine.

This wine was more appropriate as vinegar on my salad then as wine in my wine glass. On the nose was sour cherries. Very thin and weak with no structure or body. Very tart and acidic, not like any Pinot Noir that I have had before, really reminded me of vinegar. Would never buy this wine again.

A little thin. Slight vinegary finish.
