Tasting notes
A beautiful Pinot Noir that would easily pass undetected in a blind lineup of top red Burgundies, the light ruby 2017 Pinot Noir The Belles Soeurs offers a complex bouquet of mulled cherries, framboise, sappy herbs, flowers, and spice. Medium-bodied, balanced, and finesse-driven on the palate, it has plenty of ripe tannins and expands nicely with time in the glass. It's going to benefit from short-term cellaring and evolve for 10-15 years.

The has an attractively smooth and supple style to it with bright strawberries and fresh red cherries, framed in flowers and fresh leaves. The palate is very smoothly delivered, amid silky, plush and attractively fine-cut tannins that carry freshness and depth into an elegant yet long finish. A triumphant return after a 12 year hiatus, this is sourced from Beaux Frères, Upper Terrace and Sequitur vineyards). Drink across the next decade.
