Domaine Laurent Cognard Château de Buxy Bourgogne Pinot Noir (75cl, 13%)

This Bourgogne Pinot Noir is made from 100% Pinot Noir from Burgundy's Côte Chalonnaise, bottled at approximately 13% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Sourced from vineyards around Buxy, it is produced by Domaine Laurent Cognard at the historic Château de Buxy. The fruit is destemmed to approximately 90% and vinified with punch-downs and pump-overs, and the domaine favours 500-litre casks to emphasise minerality. The nose opens with a pungent, lightly singed quality, followed by ripe bramble fruit and persistent spice. The palate is generous with dark berry concentration, fresh acidity, grip and vibrancy. The finish is long, with returning spice and clean, lingering freshness.
