Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 04 May 23
Like many wines from this vintage, Lachaux's 2017 Bourgogne Pinot Fin has put on weight in bottle and is showing more depth and density than it did from barrel. Unwinding in the glass with deep aromas of berry fruits and forest floor mingled with hints of peonies and orange, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with impressive structure and concentration. If anything, it's a touch more introverted than the 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Poisots that I drank a few weeks earlier. This is an overperformer.

Bourgogne

Bourgogne AOC represents the entry-level wines of Burgundy, offering a taste of the region's winemaking traditions. These wines, primarily made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, cover a broad area from Chablis to Beaujolais. Red wines are light to medium-bodied with red berry flavours and earthy notes, while the whites are crisp and mineral-driven with green apple and citrus. Accessible and versatile, Bourgogne AOC wines are an excellent introduction to Burgundy. Notable producers include Joseph Drouhin, Louis Jadot, and Bouchard Père et Fils.
