Description
"A pretty, and very pinot-like, nose reflects notes of mostly red berry and a discreet touch of earth which is picked up by the supple, round a delicious flavors that conclude in a lightly rustic bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. To enjoy young." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
"As is his wont, Gérard Raphet had even less than usual to say about the 2023 vintage though he did tell me that he is officially retiring in favor of his daughter Marion, who has been a hovering and helpful presence during my tastings here for a number of years now. Indeed about the only comment he made was to acknowledge the generous yields and the huge infestation of caterpillars only to then turn the discussion to the question of whether the US would impose tariffs on French wines. As such, I am afraid that I don't have even the bare minimum detail to share with you, my cherished readers! I suspect that going forward however Marion will be more forthcoming than her famously laconic father, at least I certainly hope so. Raphet did say that his 2022s, revisited below, were bottled in between February and April 2024. Between the two vintages, while both have attractive wines in them, I had a general preference for 2022." - North Berkeley Imports
