Françoise & Denis Clair, Hautes Cotes de Beaune Rouge, Burgundy EP 2022 (Case of 12 bottles)
An appellation which, with climate change, has become a source of great value Pinot in warmer vintages. Deep red, aromatic nose, rich palate of cherries, juicy and fresh with supple tannins, a more traditional style.
