Note: 33% whole clusters. An exuberantly pinot-like nose of ripe red berries and soft earth nuances gives way to delicious and sleek if not especially dense flavors that possess an unusually refined mouthfeel before concluding in a solidly long finish where only a hint of rusticity slowly appears. To enjoy young.*Burghound Outstanding!*

The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge has a pretty nose with dark berry fruit and a touch of cola, the one-third whole clusters lending black pepper notes. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit, maybe a bit "serious" for a Bourgogne Rouge, and it needs a little more length on the finish. Fine.(NM)
