Domaine Chanson Le Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2021 vintage has a bright red colouring in the glass. Scents of violet mixed with crunchy aromas of ripe cherries and strawberries on a hint of spice. Complex and full of energy. Tight texture on a very pure fruit. Long aftertaste with spicy nuances. Super classic Burgundy, ideal with braised and roasted meats, as well as meat-sauced pastas and regional cheeses (Comté, Epoisses, Citeaux). After a mild winter, spring settled down in March with very warm temperatures. May and June were warm and dry. Summer was warm and dry as well and punctuated by several heat waves and a few thunderstorms épisodes which brought some water. All the plots with a soil combination of clay were less sensitive to the hydric stress and lack of water. The harvest started around August 20 in Burgundy, an historically precocious date for the region. At Chanson, they started on August 23 under a bright sunshine. The red wines are crunchy, energetic, lively with a pure fruit.

Stonier produces one of the most consistent Pinots from the Mornington Peninsula. Attractive plum and cherry flavours are enhanced by some gamey undertones and smoky oak influence. Perfect with duck.

Central Otago is regarded as the best for NZ Pinot Noir. Ripe bouquet of satsumas, plum & meat. Firm soft tannins.

Product Description: An old-vine Pommard with mineral poise. Domaine Lucien Muzard’s Pommard Les Cras 2023 comes from a tiny 0.31-hectare parcel of vines over 80 years old, most planted in 1922, on the border with Volnay. The vineyard’s name derives from craie — “lime” — a nod to the chalky-limestone soils that give the wine its tension and length. The 2023 vintage was handled with the domaine’s hallmark precision: hand-harvested, 30% whole bunches, indigenous yeasts, and gentle pigeage over an 18–20 day maceration. Élevage took place in Burgundian barrels, 15–20% new, allowing the wine to build depth without masking its terroir signature. Les Cras consistently delivers a Pommard of firm structure and lifted aromatics — in this vintage, ripe blueberry and plum fruit are wrapped around fine yet powerful tannins, finishing with a long, saline minerality. With its combination of concentration, freshness, and structure, this is a Pommard that will reward patience, opening from 2028 to reveal further layers of complexity. Tasting Notes NOSE – Red fruit and earth Aromas of cherry, blueberry, and plum with hints of spice and subtle savoury undertones. PALATE – Concentrated and firm Dense, sweet-berried fruit supported by fine but assertive tannins. FINISH – Long and mineral Lingering stone and chalk notes carry the fruit to a persistent close. Reviews & Accolades “Vinified in tronconic and then aged in barrels. Medium deep crimson. An attractive red fruit bouquet. Suggests a bit of the firmness of Pommard on the nose, but there is easily enough red fruit to cover the bones. Still a final tannin or two but there is fine density to this and a good long finish. Drink from 2028–2033.” — Jasper Morris M.W., 89–92 points, January 2025 Finer Details: Style - Red Wine Varietal - Pinot Noir Country - France Region - Burgundy Vintage - 2023 Bottle Size - 750ml ABV - 13.5% Closure - Cork Other - Vegan Friendly

This vintage has produced a Pinot Noir displaying ripe rich aromatics; perfumed black fruits of the forest dominate the aroma and these are underpinned by lovely clove, anise and other brown spice notes. The wine displays lovely elegance and flows with striking precision and clarity. On the palate it kicks off with a supple dark berry entry, moving into a beautifully textured plush mid-palate, after which fine elegant textural tannins frame fruit and acidity on a lengthy finish. Mt Difficulty Bannockburn Pinot Noir will improve for 7-10 years given optimal vintage and cellaring conditions.
