Domaine Courtault-Michelet Cote de Grisey Bourgogne Epineuil Rouge AOC 2023 (750ml) *

In the cool northern reaches of Burgundy, up near Chablis, Pinot Noir takes on a leaner, more mineral cast than it does in the Cote d'Or, and the Epineuil appellation is a good place to meet it. This 2023 Cote de Grisey bottling from Domaine Courtault-Michelet is a red Bourgogne Epineuil, made from Pinot Noir grown in one of the region's cooler pockets, where the grape tends toward bright red fruit and a slender, savory frame rather than weight.
