Lea & Sandeman review
Bright and open, with a mildly rooty note on the nose which quickly passes with a little aeration, and this is good to go from now, expressive with a fine core of brightly defined positive Côte de Nuits Pinot fruit.
Other reviews and comments
Attractive sweet earth aromas and an equally appealing, authentic earthy sweetness complementing the juicy, black, summer berry fruit and spicy notes. Good weight, nicely rounded, characterful Marsannay Pinot Noir from a 23-hectare estate – quite sizeable by Burgundian standards - which was certified organic in 2010.

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!
