Lovers of Burgundian-style Pinot Noir wines might find this one a bit different!
There is an earthiness to this funky, ‘alive’ wine that we find quite appealing. There are notes of mushroom (in a nice way) and cherry and a mineral finish that is quite long. As with many of Philippe’s wines, this one has that lovely savoury, umami quality that makes you want to take another sip. It is interesting to note that more and more lovers of Pinot Noir are starting to compare their favourite red wines from Burgundy with those from their eastern neighbours in Alsace and the Jura. There are some very special wines that rival their better known cousins and this is but one.
