Domaine Maillard Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2023
Pascal Maillard, one of our favorite winemakers in the Cotes de Beaune, tends to his vineyards with the precision and focus of a marksman. Honestly, he's got the chops of a musical wizard of the highest magnitude; think of him as the Jimi Hendrix of Burgundy, playfully pouring his soul into his wines. And while Bourgogne Rouge can technically come from anywhere in the whole of the appellation, the grapes for this classy, elegant Pinot Noir come from Maillards' vineyards located around the villages of Ladoix and Chorey in the Cotes de Beaune. The 2023 is sexy as hell with plenty of black cherry tones with a mouthwatering, juicy character followed by subtle floral hints, rose petals, and a hint of raspberry. A touch more weight than
previous vintages, there are still subtle little tannins that frame the wine and will encourage a bit of cellaring in the short term. It is an amazing Bourgogne that would give just about any village-level wine a run for
its money.
