Lea & Sandeman review
Level with the centre of Gevrey at the bottom of the village. A lovely combination of straight Gevrey cassis and a slight tautening from a stony edge. Juicy, more-ish, with a chalky finesse.
Other reviews and comments
A rich Burgundy in which loganberry and cherry flavours flourish in a framework of toasty oak and sappy freshness.
Anthony Rose, The Independent
On the basis of the four Pinot Noirs we tasted here, we're pleased to have made the acquaintance of Marsannay-based Domaine Huguenot. The style is generally rich, ripe and savoury, but it's not an over-arching house-style: the terroir is allowed to talk. In this velvet-textured Gevrey, there's a mouthwatering stony minerality cutting through the succulent black fruit and ripe tannins.

Mixed Cases
A selection of fabulous drinking Pinot Noirs as selected by the Wine Gang in their March report.
"The Pinot Noirs, all young vintages, were from Burgundy, New Zealand and Argentina and the standard was high. We like the way Lea & Sandeman chooses producers and wines that express their vineyards and regions so clearly," they said, and we couldn't agree more!
