Pinot Noir Wine

Decanter, 95 points: The painterly, steep-sloped Clos de l'Arlot is planted with vines that have an average age of more than 50 years and is always among the best and most harmonious wines of Nuits-St-Georges. Deeply coloured and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2018 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has turned out brilliantly, wafting from the glass with a compelling bouquet of cherries, wild berries, peonies, dark chocolate, licorice and spices. Full-bodied, velvety and...

Vinous, 99 points: (97-99 points) The 2018 Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru is even darker than the Bonnes-Mares. It has a spectacular bouquet of intense black fruit, blueberries and shucked oyster shells, the mineralité heightened over...

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: From the Carneros region in the southern part of the valley, the 2018 Pinot Noir Hyde Vineyard gives up a Burgundian bouquet of black cherries, mulberries, smoked earth, and candied violets. It shows more and more floral...

jebdunnuck.com, 93 points: Moving to the reds, the appellation 2018 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast was just about completely destemmed (2% stems) and spent 10 months in 18% new French oak. Lots of spice box, earthy forest floor, cherries, and redcurrant...

Vinous, 98 points: (96-98 points) The 2018 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru is a limpid deep purple. It has a heavenly bouquet distantly related to the Les Amoureuses, offering precocious but detailed blueberry, black cherry, crushed iris petal and...

Decanter, 95 points: A fine, structured, monumental Pinot with great tannins on the palate. Typical Pinot Noir characters of truffle and 'sous bois' compliment the warm, spicy notes from nine months maturation in Francois Frère oak barrels...

Decanter, 91 points: Bertrand Dugat sources the grapes for this ever-reliable red Burgundy from the lower part of Gevrey-Chambertin, ageing it in older oak. Some generic wines were picked too ripe in 2018, but not this one, which combines...

Vinous, 93 points: The 2018 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills is a fabulous Sta. Rita Hills Pinot. Racy and explosive, the 2018 packs a serious punch. Juicy dark red/purplish berry fruit, mint, lavender, spice and licorice notes are all pushed...
