Andre Dupuis Le Merrandier Pinot Noir 2006 RED France

Of the world's red grapes Pinot Noir is easily the rarest and Burgundy is the pinnacle of quality. Many wine collectors prize it above all other reds but prohibitive prices mean plenty of wine lovers never find out what the fuss is about silky seductive hauntingly aromatic Pinot Noir. In Burgundy's outstanding Wine Spectator 2006 vintage we received a tip off about a small parcel of Andre Dupuis' stunning quality Pinot Noir destined to 'beef up' the posher names. But it was far too good to squander this way. The problem they had no barrels in which to mature the wine ... and a great idea was born! This fruit deserved the Rolls Royce of barrels so we supplied funds for a handful of top of the range Dargaud Jaegle barrels. And the result Even better than we expected ... lavishly rich with lingering plum and raspberry flavours. Superb served with pan fried pigeon breast or beef bourguignon.
