A stunning wine from Pillot showing great breadth in mouthfeel but also a harmony between acidity and richness with integrated oak — 10 years ago
Best paired with Leo in The Revenant....I was instructed by the salesperson at the wine shop to let this open up for 20 minutes "to get past the hairy armpit stage" and to even decant it. Hmm okay? I think any Burgundian would disagree with the decanting bit so I just popped it and let it breathe a while. This had great structure. Oak and alcohol on the nose. Velvety on the palette with Earth and some remaining essence of oak. — 10 years ago

Was a little worried that this 2002 vintage was not opened sooner, but... Whoa doggie! Exceptional!!! Pear skin, apple pie, buttered toast and new French oaky deliciousness!!!! — 11 years ago
Silky tannins with bright acidity. Drinks like an elegant Pinot noir when comparing to any Pinot from U.S. Pairs great with gruyere and roasted chicken. It stands up to bold flavors in a dish. — 9 years ago

This 02 took some time to open up but it really blossomed. Lots of barnyard on the nose and great berries - blueberries, blackberries and strawberries. Very well integrated wine with nice balance — 9 years ago
