Vintage 2014 | nice impression of raspberries. This wine showed better 4 years ago. Not a wine to cellar long.

Vintage 2014 / Remarkable #pinotnoir from the #Loire area. Raspberry in an open and seductive smell. Frivolous taste with elegance. The wine ripened in new barrels, well integrated in the wine. This wine can stand proudly next to Burgundy.
