A markedly spicy nose speaks of poached plum, dark cherry and pretty violet and lilac wisps. Once again the mouth feel of the medium-bodied flavors is ultra-fine with a lovely minerality adding a bit of lift to the punchy and sneaky long finish. This needs to add a bit more overall depth but the requisite stuffing and tannic spine appears to be up to the task. In a word, lovely.

Pinot Noir | France

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Collectors! Only 12 bottles in our allocation this year of Yvon Clerget's most sought after offering. A vineyard that is an unsung Grand Cru in the minds of many.

About the Producer
“The reborn Domaine Y. Clerget could very well turn out to be one of the great recent success stories in Burgundy… Readers should do whatever they can to taste these wines. [Thibaud] Clerget is just 28 and appears to have a brilliant career in front of him. Bravo!” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
