Domaine Charton Bourgogne Pinot Noir "Champ de Perdrix" 2021
OUTSTANDING VALUE: Burghound
100% oak barrels for 10 months, 25-30% new barrels 20 year old Vines, Limestone, Clay soil “There is fine richness and solid volume to the nicely concentrated flavors that deliver better length on the finish where a hint of acid tang appears. Even so, this is really very good for its level and should also amply repay mid-term cellaring. In a word, excellent.” — Burghound
We've always been fans of Languedoc reds, and having tried this for the first time we are much taken with this example of southern whites. Beautiful balance of acidity and freshness. This will be on our repeat shopping list like Villa Blanche.
Although this is a new vintage for us, it never fails to delight. Full of lovely crisp Grenache flavour. We bought it for summer and starting drinking it in mid-winter!!
Clear cab sav and merlot on the nose, clean not complex. Soft tannins and good fruit moderately sustained.. Clean finish. Good oak handling. Certainly not a platinum whatever that is but good silver and excellent value for the money
A great bridge between commercial and premium, plus it's a good conversation starter! 5 stars at the current discounted price.

Great Value
At its price, one of the best reds I have tasted. The experience is consistent with the bottle notes, fruity, balanced with a hint of oak and a long finish.
