Domaine Latour Giraud - Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2021 available at Swigg Real Wine, Craft Beer, and Spirits in Wilmington, DE

89-90 JM. Just the two barrels of declassified Clos des Chênes. Quite a deep sombre red. This has the raw peppery finish of the vintage, all strawberry fruit, more density than the Bourgogne,…
