Tasting Notes For Domaine Drouhin Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2023

This vintage showcases a beautiful concentration of flavors that unfold on the palate with each sip. The wine starts with an enchanting bouquet of redcurrant compote and tobacco, which slowly gives way to a youthful spice and bramble. The velvety texture of the wine beautifully balances the kirsch core, while the earthy undertones and subtle hint of vanilla add to the wine’s complexity.

Crafted with precision, this Pinot Noir is a reflection of the terroir it comes from. The grapes are hand-picked from the estate vineyard in the Dundee Hills, where the unique soils and microclimate lend a distinct character to the wine. This vintage has been aged in French oak barrels, imparting subtle oak notes to the wine.

Critic Ratings

James Suckling Review – Rated 95:

A deep, serious and structured wine that’s quietly powerful and age-worthy at a reasonable price. Tightly woven tannins, black fruit, bracing acidity and an elegant mouthfeel. Reserved in a good way, it is drinkable now but best from 2028.
