Domaine Maillard Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2019
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 2019 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 as well. A touch more weight than
previous vintages, there are still subtle little tannins that frame the
wine and will encourage a bit of cellaring short term. An amazing
Bourgogne that would give just about any village level wine a run for
its money.
