Typical supple red fruit to lead the show, and this pinot noir balances clean, sweet spices with a suave, mouth-filling texture that is uncommonly dense for a Chorey. Its acidity is fresh and pert without being intrusive.

Pierre owns two hectares of 40-year-old vines in this lieu-dit situated at the southern edge of Chorey-lès-Beaune, with a gravel-infused mix of clay and limestone. A mere 10% new oak allows its appellation-typical supple red fruit to lead the show, and this pinot noir balances clean, sweet spices with a suave, mouth-filling texture that is uncommonly dense for a Chorey. Its acidity is fresh and pert without being intrusive.

This too has a lurking touch of reduction but here it's sufficiently subtle to allow hints of various red berries and earth to be discerned. The exceptionally rich quite supple and seductively textured middleweight flavors contrast somewhat with the moderately rustic and austere finale that comes up a bit short. The length may be an effect of the recent bottling and my rating offers the benefit of the doubt. Drink: 2025+
