Pinot Noir Wines

Pinot Noir is possibly the most versatile red grape when it comes to the ways it’s been used over the years. From red wines to sparkling wines and beyond, there aren’t many places where you can avoid hearing about it, and for a good reason. It’s often easy to spot a bottle of Pinot Noir simply by the pale, translucent color, which transitions into a shade reminiscent of old-timey brickwork, adding a lovely dash of country charm to an already awe-inspiring drink.

While it may be an omnipresent varietal, it doesn’t exactly grow just anywhere. Because it demands a relatively cool climate, it thrives in some places more than others. Most notably, the region of Burgundy is known for excellent Pinot Noir harvests, and California isn’t too far behind these days.

The flavor is reminiscent of what you might find in a fantasy novel landscape. From flowers to red fruit to spicy undertones, there’s no shortage of aromas to discover as you take your time and get to know your wine. The French variety often includes an undercutting earthy baseline, whereas the Californian version tends to feel softer and lusher. In both cases, the wine goes down smoothly and is light enough to work with many different dishes.

2018 jean-marc vincent santenay 1er cru le beaurepaire Burgundy Red

The 2018 Santenay 1er Cru Le Beaurepaire Rouge has also turned out beautifully, mingling aromas of ripe cherries, cocoa nib, sweet soil tones and spices in a complex bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and sensuous, its ample core of fruit is underpinned by lively acids and melting tannins. This is one of the most texturally refined wines in the range this year, but for all the early accessibility that conveys, it will age with grace.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 92+ RPAttractive spice, florals and a white-pepper and chalky edge to the nose. Elegant, svelte and gently peppery palate with smooth, fine-grained tannins. Drink over the next five years.James Suckling | 91 JS

2018 jean-marc vincent santenay 1er cru le passetemps Burgundy Red

Aromas of cherries, cinnamon, dark chocolate and rich soil tones introduce the 2018 Santenay 1er Cru Le Passetemps, a medium to full-bodied wine that’s velvety and enveloping, with a layered core of ripe but succulent fruit, powdery tannins and a long, resonant finish. Might this be the best Passetemps that Vincent has produced from this high-density 2004 planting? I’m certainly inclined to think so.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 93 RP

2019 jean-marc vincent santenay 1er cru le passetemps Burgundy Red

The 2019 Santenay 1er Cru Le Passetemps is lovely, bursting with aromas of ripe berries, plums, raw cocoa, licorice and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, its chassis of powdery tannins is cloaked in a wealth of rich but succulent fruit. This is a gourmand, sensual Passetemps from Jean-Marc Vincent.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 93 RPPronounced aromas of ripe red and black fruit are shaded with hints of leather, smoke, and wild herbs for a somewhat rustic edge. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with a luminously round and satisfying fruit character through the finish. Vincent owns 0.81ha in this lieu-dit, essentially a continuation of Gravières, planted on a white marl soil and it was here that he harvested the ripest fruit of 2019. Drinking Window 2021 - 2029.Decanter | 92 DECThe 2019 Santenay Le Passetemps 1er Cru veers more towards red fruit on the nose, lively and floral with rose petals and incense. Lovely transparency here. The palate is medium-bodied with a little chewiness on the entry, good density and gentle grip. Darker fruit than on the nose, this offers lovely blackberry and cranberry mixed with subtle sous-bois notes on the finish. Give this 12-18 months in bottle.Vinous Media | 91 VM
