Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits rarely needs much introduction, this is Burgundy’s spiritual home for the grape, after all. Domaine Alain Jeanniard offers a wonderfully pure expression of it here: elegant, expressive, and quietly confident. The 2022 vintage leans into freshness and charm. Expect bright red cherries, raspberries and a touch of cranberry, followed by gentle spice and a subtle woodland note that gives the wine its Burgundian character. Silky in texture with fine structure, it’s a Pinot Noir that feels both graceful and effortlessly drinkable. And in magnum, it’s exactly the sort of bottle that belongs in the middle of the table, poured alongside roast chicken, mushroom dishes, and a dinner that gradually forgets to check the time.
