Imagine the color crimson: vivid, refined, and elegant. The nose offers strawberry, raspberry, and wild herbs, while the palate combines ripe red fruit with an earthy energy and lovely texture. Medium tannins and pleasing density provide structure, while the mineral-driven finish reflects the granite and limestone soils of the Côte de Beaune. Overall, this is a beautiful and expressive Pinot Noir.

"Didier Regnaudot is one of the appellation’s staunch traditionalists. He relies on his very old vines to produce richly concentrated fruit, opts for long macerations without adding cultured yeast, and eschews fining and filtration to protect the pulpous flesh that coats his wines’ chewy tannins. His top vineyard, Les Clos Roussots, is a mid-slope premier cru that yields a thick, dense Pinot Noir with the guts to age like the Maranges of old, but enough voluptuous fruit to provide pleasure in the near term. You may well visualize deep, dark splashes of sturdy Maranges upon contemplating Côte de Beaune reds after sipping this delightfully soulful nectar.
