Still red Burgundy, 14% ABV, produced by Domaine Marchand Fréres. 100% Pinot Noir, 2020 vintage. A Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Faconnieres that embodies the elegance and complexity of Burgundian Pinot Noir. Alcoholic fermentation in tanks, malolactic fermentation in barrels, and aging in barriques for 1 year. The bouquet is divided between black fruits such as blackcurrant and blueberry and red fruits such as cherry, with notes of blackthorn, bramble, violet, clove, licorice, and fruit brandy. With age, it often evokes leather, moss, and game. Bright ruby color with purple highlights. On the palate, it is well-structured and balanced between strong body and expressive fruit.
