Domaine du Vieux Collège
Les Champs Foreys Bourgogne Pinot Noir
“If you build it, they will come.” (Field of Dreams; 1989.) Eric Guyard has! This is the new French pinot noir. Traditionalists will be appalled. I get it. But, with increasing temps across the vineyards of Burgundy one either adapts or slowly shrivels on the vine. This is a satisfying polished pinot with lots of cherry and spice that is best served from a 20 minute chill in the fridge. It may even deserve a year or two in the cellar. It’s a fine example of where simple Bourgogne has landed. (Really appreciate the ArdeaSeal.)
