Maxime Crotet, Bourgogne Rouge 'Elegance' 2023

Place: Burgundy, France

Grape: Pinot Noir

Vibe: Elegant duh!

I’m not about to argue with Maxime on this one – it does indeed have all the elegance I crave in my Burgundy. Silky and smooth, this supplies all the fine red fruit and tea-like spice we’re after. Perfectly balanced and rearing to go from the offset. That said, I'll be stashing a few away for a rainy day as the upside potential here is looking great. ABV: 12%
