A region known for the elegance of its wines, a highly rated producer, and the power of the great 1999 vintage all coalesce in this delicious Burgundy. It has a gentle savoury/foresty/earthy dress wrapped around a fine, lingering core of plum and red cherry fruit. The freshness and brightness of this 20-year-old pinot noir illuminate the finish and aftertaste. Yakitori chicken noodles and snow peas were just the ticket.
