The Bourgogne Pinot Noir from Virgile Lignier-Michelot in Burgundy presents a bright, light red color in the glass. When the glass is swirled, this red wine reveals a first-class balance, as it does not appear watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the sides of the glass.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and, despite all its dryness, this French wine enchants with the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily require a lot of sugar. Balanced and multi-layered, this dense red wine presents itself on the palate. On the finish, this youthful wine from the Burgundy wine-growing region finally impresses with remarkable length. Once again, hints of plum and blackberry appear.
