Very cool and fragrant, this is a masterpiece of cool-climate pinot noir that has a tremendous structure packed into its sleek and precisely delineated silhouette. Intensely chalky minerality in the powerful and tightly wound finish. From a site at 377 meters above sea level with rocky limestone soil. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. 100% whole-cluster fermentation. Matured in traditional small oak casks. Drink or hold.

(91-93 points) The 2022 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Clous 377 is 100% whole bunches and aged entirely in one-year-old 220-liter barrels. This has a focused bouquet with lovely cranberry and wild strawberry fruit, very harmonious, and that oak plays a background role, allowing the terroir to show through. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit and a little more depth and flesh than the Bignon, persistent and sapid on the finish, urging you to take another sip. Neal Martin
