Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron Coteau de l'Auxois Pinot Noir Clos de la Romanee 2022 (750ml) *

Grown outside the Côte d'Or's grand cru heartland, this is Burgundy Pinot Noir bottled under the Coteau de l'Auxois designation, a 2022 from Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron. Pinot Noir from this part of eastern France tends toward red fruit, bright acidity, and a lighter, more transparent build than the darker reds of the south, and that translucent, cool-climate character is the appeal here.
