Winemaker Notes

Epineuil shares the prized Kimmeridgian marl that makes up the soils of Chablis, and this rouge echoes the bright, mineral backbone that characterizes Lavantureux whites. What's more, the brothers have shown to have real touch with the Pinot grape, yielding a wine of striking finesse that shows off the crunchy red fruit, floral notes, and peppery spice typical of Pinot Noir from Burgundy's far north.

Professional Ratings

At the moment reductive. Excellent bright purple colour and though the reduction is strong, the wealth of fruit comes up behind brilliantly. This is going to be spectacular! And better balanced than the 2019 which I loved from the start.
