Domaine Gros Frére & Soeur Bourgogne 2020, France
This is a lovely wine and expresses Pinot Noir wonderfully. It is also a wine that is very modern and could easily be mistaken for a new world expression. The bouquet suggests ripe, fresh red cherries and dried spices, a layer of savoury earthy qualities that reflect sage and thyme with dried rose and crumbed stone qualities. Then as the wine touches and opens out on the palate the essence of Burgundy comes into play with a flavours of fallen leaves and sweet French oak, a delicate cherry and strawberry fruit flavour alongside flavours of clay and chalk take me to Burgundy. Fine tannins and decent acid line then a return to fruit and flowers. A lovely example with best drinking from late 2024 through 2029.
