Pinot on Parade

Maison Ambroise Cote de Nuits Villages 2005
More brett than I would have liked, this wine is quite astringent and a little warm in the mouth. Frankly, it’s not up to what I’ve had from Amroise in the past. Vinified and mis en bouteille by Bertrand Ambroise in Nuits-Saints-Georges 13% $28.99 at Bottle Barn Ambroise

Domaine Denis Mortet Marsannay Les Longeroies 2004
With each 10 minutes more and more flavors are coming through. There are brown spices, herbs and black fruits with lots of structure. A balanced wine that is still in its infancy. Mis par Denis Mortet, proprietaire-viticulteur a Gevrey-Chambertin 13% $53.99 at Bottle Barn
