WINE ADVOCATE - 92 POINTS This is the sixth vintage of this Pinot Noir, and it is one of the finest so far. Sourced from a basin 500 meters above sea level where the vines root in Jurassic limestone soils with iron-rich loam and are surrounded by forest, the 2018 Talrain exhibits a dark cherry color followed by a corresponding, fascinatingly deep, intense and juicy yet pure and stimulatingly fresh bouquet of dark berries, cherries, crushed rocks, meat, smoke and iron. Aged for 20 months in small oak barrels, this is a full-bodied, lush and round yet refined, fresh, elegant and pure Pinot Noir that has climbed onto the premier cru ladder. This wine is intense and fleshy and has so much character, soul and finesse and is structured, so vital and sustainable that it would be a sin not to buy it. A fabulous terroir wine that is clearly aiming for a grand cru status one day. 13.5% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in September 2021.
