Découverte Pinot Noir 2017

- 91 points -

Résonance purchased this site close to Domaine Drouhin and Domaine Serene in 2014. After clearing the property of blackberry vines, they discovered a natural amphitheater on classic Jory soils (the Résonance vineyard, purchased in 2013, is planted on basalt). Vines were planted in 1996 and more Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have just been planted. Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Découverte Vineyard opens with inviting scents of raspberry jam, rhubarb and pomegranate with notes of warm earth and autumn leaves and a floral undercurrent. The palate is light to mediumbodied with youthfully shy fruits (this was bottled three to four months before I tasted it), with a soft frame and very juicy acidity, finishing restrained. 500 cases were made.
