Want to know what a classic, old school pinot noir looks and tastes like? Then get your hands on one of these. From Louis Latour, one of the giant Burgundy negociants, the 2005 Domaine de Valmoissine is distributed nationally.
Sold at retail for $10.99 to 13.99 a bottle, this elegant Burgundy is a steal. The fruit is present, the tannins are balanced and the finish is medium-long, all with only 12% alcohol. Amazing at this price.
Stefan and I enjoyed this bottle with Greg, Fran and Doug at a Chinese/Japanese restaurant in New Jersey.
