500 years of Pinot Noir winegrowing heritage and 50 years of experience coalesce in this remarkable Pinot Noir from Hans Herzog.
Experience the ultimate expression of Burgundy’s flagship varietal in this naturally fermented, additive-free Pinot Noir.
After 21 days of skin contact, followed by malolactic fermentation in French barrels, it was aged for 24 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
“This is really drinking beautifully now with a ripe strawberry, chocolate and walnut character as well as hints of wood in just the right amount. Full-bodied yet not heavy, with lots of polished, caressing tannins and focus. Serious wine to ponder. Drink or hold, but hard not to open.” – James Suckling, 96 Points
Tasting Note: With yields rivalling those of a Grand Cru, the dark ruby red hue of this Pinot Noir already hints at its Grandeur. Intensely aromatic, it presents luscious notes of dark berries, cherries, violet, and warm spices. Magnificent complexity unfolds on the palate, revealing a dry, deep, and earthbound character. Sumptuous and silky tannins are balanced by a savoury acidity, embodying the refined elegance characteristic of Burgundy’s greatest varietal. Its long finish speaks to its aging potential, making it a superb addition to any Burgundy lover’s cellar.
