Found in the New French Wine book. Deeper and juicier than I think of Pinot noir, but still very light on the palate. Went well with salmon. — 4 months ago

Lemon zest and banana on the nose with vague limoncello on the palate. Semisweet with high acidity. An overall gorgeous white Burgundy! — a month ago

NOTE TO EXPERT: this is the Hinohatake cuvée This started with just a touch of high-toned candy (especially compared to the Chanterêves Savigny), but settled to reveal a very pretty, sweetly floral character, tempered with more savory herbs and a subtle minerality. I find Burgundian-styles Pinot Noir to be one of the best matches for Japanese food (especially dishes featuring shoyu, sansho, yuzu, etc.), and this was no exception - even with sashimi (with negi ponzu), Kyoto-style taitan relying heavily on dashi, etc. Not massively complex, perhaps, but lots of flavor and not lacking in dimensions. Overall, one of the most satisfying Japanese Pinot Noirs I have had in a while. — 2 years ago

A fine Aligote with some power and pedigree. Chassagne ringer. — 2 days ago
