91 Points, Wine Enthusiast

A touch riper and richer than Chanzy's Mercurey Les Bussières, this plump Pinot Noir highlights bright red-cherry and raspberry flavors accented by hints of charred herb and smoke. Matured in seasoned oak barrels, it's fresh fruited and welcoming young, with a finish marked by ripe, charry tannins and a kiss of nutmeg.
