Tasting Note:  This is a delicious wine that has deep cherry fruit and powerful mineral notes. The first nose is about the freshness of red currants and berries such as redcurrant and wild strawberry. With aeration a riper fruit takes over with an intense and more complex aromatic structure. On the mouth the evocation of cherries is not like any jam or pie, but rather crisp, fresh, firm cherries as they come off the tree, snappy to the tooth, the hint of summery leaves and stems. Without a doubt, this is one of the greatest deals for Burgundian Pinot Noir in the market in general. We recommend a serving temperature of 16⁰c.

Epineuil ‘Cote de Grisey’ comes from the unheralded appellation of Epineuil. The name is harder to pronounce than the village is to find, as it sits just about 20 minutes northeast of Chablis, outside the town of Tonnerre. It’s a cold place with classic Kimmeridgian soils. Epineuil’s greatest vineyard area lies on a massive and steep slope, the Côte de Grisey, where Dominique has most of his vines. The Côte is richest in its center where a bulge of clay graciously delivers to these wines their perfect mid-palates. While in times past, a celebrated site for Chardonnay, the Côte de Grisey is able to ripen Pinot Noir because its chilly, windblown climate is protected from the fiercest of winds by the Langres Plateau.
