Drouhin Laforet Pinot Noir

A seductive wine. Yum! it smells of red fruits: rapberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants... After that, in the mouth, lovely spicy notes. And the silky touch, pure joy!. -Véronique Boss-Drouhin The reds display a bright ruby-red colour and reveal aromas of black fruit and spices above silky tannins. 2011 wines are well-balanced. Site: a dozen of various appellations especially rigorously selected by Joseph Drouhin are used for this wine. History and Tradition: The first plantings of Pinot Noir in Burgundy probably go back to 150 BC. Laforêt Bourgogne rouge, made 100% with this famous grape, is the archetype of red Burgundy for Joseph Drouhin Soil: clay and limestone. "We have a good palette of aromas and flavours. My Pinots Noirs come from the Côte Chalonnaise for the elegance and the north of the Côte de Nuits for depth. With the structure of this blend, LaForêt is a faithful wine, and we rediscover these traits from year to year" -Véronique Boss-Drouhin
