Domaine Drouhin Laurene Pinot Noir 2021 (750ML)

95 WS

#16 Wine Spectator Top 100 2023

This popular red grape originated in Burgundy but has spread across the New World. Like its white Burgundian counterpart Chardonnay, Pinot Noir is early-budding, early-ripening and thin-skinned. The sites where it tends to thrive can experience tough growing conditions, which lead to more rigorous fruit selection and lower yields. This is one of the reasons that high-quality Pinot Noir often carries a higher price tag than other wines.—Tim Fish, Wine Spectator
