Nicolas Jay, L'Ensemble Pinot Noir Vintage:2023 and this is even more

and this is even more true in a classic vintage such as this

As I wrote last year

offering densely packed orchard and pit fruit flavors that are sharpened by a refreshingly bitter lemon pith flourish

the same approach the estate used for its early wines

Nicolas Jay, L'Ensemble Pinot Noir Vintage:2023 and this is even moreThe 2018 Pinot Noir L'Ensemble is the first iteration of this cuve, which is made up of fruit sourced from across several appellations. It has scents of cranberries, bitter citrus, tea leaves, mushrooms and desiccated roses. The medium bodied palate is powerful and fresh with concentrated flavors and bright sparks of citrus and floral character. Despite its generosity, it's plush and easy to drink straight from the bottle.
