Tasting notes
The 2013 Pinot Noir Joli Coeur is the most lush, ripe and flamboyant of these Pinots. Racy and voluptuous on the palate, the 2013 has no hard edges and striking aromatics, with a good bit of French oak that marries nicely with the raciness of the fruit. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. This suave, expressive Pinot will drink well right out of the gate.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Joli Coeur is what Luc Morlet calls Athe sweet spot@ of his Coteaux Nobles Vineyard. The berries tend to size up smaller and the clusters weigh less. This has an extra gear in it, so to speak, and displays plenty of black and red currant fruits, some rose petals and other floral notes, forest floor, a full-bodied mouthfeel, terrific texture, and remarkable richness and purity. This stunner will age well for 10-15 years.
