Domaine Confuron-Gindre - Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022

This Bourgogne, a pure-fruited gem, features crunchy mixed berries and earthy tannin structure.

Domaine Confuron-Gindre was established six generations ago in Vosne-Romanée and is located on Rue de La Tâche. A great sign! Though they don't own the monopole of La Tâche (Domaine Romanée-Conti does), François Confuron-Gindre owns a myriad of ideally located vineyards in Vosne-Romanée and a smattering in Nuits-St-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin. The Domaine accounts for 11 hectares, with five village wines, across the aforementioned villages; four Premier Crus in Vosne-Romanée; and the one Grand Cru from Échezeaux. A blessing, considering Vosne-Romanée is the Holy Grail for Pinot Noir lovers. The Domaine has been under the radar for quite some time, but since Edouard, Francois's son, is gradually taking over, the word is now out.

Also racked to tank. An attractive crimson purple colour. The nose is clean, quite elegant, with an attractive light raspberry fruit and a cherry note on the palate. Medium bodied with an attractive crisp finish and good persistence. Drink from 2025-2027. Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.

100% Pinot Noir.
