(2023) The first of three Pinots comes from pebble-strewn limestone soils at 300 metres, the vineyard 20 years old. It was matured in older barrels. Though rules have changed since, in 2020 Pinot Noir could be planted in Grand Cru vineyards but could not be labelled as Grand Cru, so many producers use the initial letter as a code to reveal the source of the grapes (in this case Vorbourg). Medium density in colour, the aromatics are elegant, floral over red-fruit, cherry and herbs to the fore, a little high-toned nuance. In the mouth it is dry and has a fairly tannic, spicy backbone, but hints of bittersweetness, something almost minty too, give plenty of interest. The finish is bone dry, fresh and quite long.

(2023) From granite soils, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged 12 months in barrel. Nice medium density colour. Quite a pretty nose, of cranberry and crushed petals, a firm gravel note beneath. The palate is elegant and medium bodied, with juicy acidity and fine tannins, the fruit staying savoury with a light polish of oak.
