Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Translucent ruby. Engaging, expressive, open nose that delivers stunning range of flavour – from nuttiness to fruitiness to herbaceousness to minerality, the full breadth. Effortless, glides over the palate – yet there is still furry tannic structure. Certainly channels Burgundy, yet retains the fruit clarity associated with New Zealand. Martinborough? (RH)

The 2019 Pinot Noir La Bauge Au-Dessus is attractive, but it is almost shockingly firm for a wine that has been in bottle for a few years. The high percentage of stem inclusion might have something to do with that. Bright red-toned fruit, dried flowers, mint and orange peel give this nervy Pinot an attractive upper register. It will be interesting to see if this softens a bit.
Moving to the Pinot Noirs, the translucent ruby-hued 2019 Pinot Noir La Bauge Au-dessus offers good complexity in its mulled cherries, mulberry, sagebrush, and minty herb-like aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied, nicely balanced, elegant, and thoroughly enjoyable.
