Review
The Coillot Bourgogne Pinot Noir wine is an almost-perfect balance between fruit, structure, and acidity. Its grapes come from vines growing in a privileged plot in Gevrey-Chambertin, one of the most prestigious winemaking villages in the Bourgogne region, and the wine reflects the character of this place.
In the glass you'll see a bright ruby-red colour, and notice aromas of raspberries, cherries, lavender, and violets. It is quite warm and spicy on the palate, and refreshing hints of eucalyptus soon appear. Round tannins and a lively acidity make it an extraordinary wine either for drinking now or for keeping. It could be classified as a pleasant version of the Pinot Noir varietal, but with its own personality; the Coillot Bourgogne Pinot Noir has sufficient character about it to be recognizable as a red Burgundy, while offering the necessary delicacy to please most drinkers. Its silky, delicate, and subtle palate is perhaps its most seductive point. It offers discrete spicy tones, a measured wild acidity, and fine saline notes, rounding off a fully harmonious wine with fruit and sweet spices from its time spent in wood. Smoke, agility, and orange peel are also notable as you drink it, and lead us up to its long finish. A gastronomic wine ideal for pairing with a wide range of foods.
