I was a little nervous about ordering a Burgundy blind, but this one nails the balance—the 750 ml bottle is classic, and the Pinot Noir taste is exactly what you’d want from the region. It’s smooth, not too heavy, and the terroir really comes through on the finish. I’d happily grab another.

Cork came out clean and the nose was classic Burgundy—red cherries with that earthy minerality you hope for. The balance across the 750 ml bottle stayed consistent from first pour to last.

This 750 ml bottle delivered exactly what I look for in a Pinot Noir—balanced, classic, and true to the terroir. I opened it with roast chicken and the fruit was lively without being heavy, making it perfect for an easy weeknight pour.
