A soft, luscious style, very easy, full of red fruits. The tannins do offer a core of tension, but then smooth vanilla and toast come through, leaving a fresh, rounded, raspberry-flavored wine.——R.V.(3/1/2008)—— 87

This has grapes from Pommard, Rully, Nuits-St-Georges and Mercurey in it, as well as a healthy dollop from Corsica, of all places. It's dark in color, with plum and chocolate aromas, but seems a bit tough and lean on the palate, lacking some of Pinot Noir's seductive texture.——W.E.(7/1/2007)—— 84
