| Description: | This Pinot Noir from Michel Sarrazin is a stunning wine which illustrates the brilliance of the 2022 vintage in France. A combination of old vines carefully tended to by a skilled winemaker from a fantastic vintage has resulted in an aromatic and flavorful overachiever. Sarrazins Bourgogne Rouge Vieilles Vignes unfolds gracefully on the palate with great intensity, purity of fruit and silky smooth texture. The grapes for this wine are sourced from old vines (vieilles vignes) more than 50 years old planted in the rolling hills of the Cote Chalonnaise. Harvest is by hand and the grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled cement tanks. The wine is aged in older Francois Frres oak barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve the intensity of flavor. This is a forward, accessible and pleasing wine which will appeal to lovers of Pinot Noir from both France and California. This wine over-delivers with an incredible quality to price ratio and is a great wine to purchase by the case and enjoy over the next few years. Bright ruby in color. On the nose, expressive aromas of fresh cut flowers, perfectly ripened cherries, red berries and brown spices leap from the glass. On the palate, the wine is dry, medium-bodied and polished with wonderful texture and silky tannins. With air, the wine gains complexity as darker fruits emerge with notions of boysenberry and Marionberry mingling with cherry, raspberry and cinnamon spice. The finish is long lasting and very satisfying. |
