Yann Durieux, Black Pinot Brut Zero the Courbis brothers’ 2003 Cornas

the Courbis brothers’ 2003 Cornas La Sabarotte (which spent 18 months in 100% new French oak) offers knockout aromas and flavors of black cherry and blackcurrant fruit

There is reasonably good richness and mid-palate concentration to the dusty and moderately robust flavors that possess solid depth and length on the youthfully austere finale

the 2010 Pinot Noir Cerise is rich

This is a big but focused Bèze that has already begun to shut down

There is excellent volume and concentration to the tautly muscular and powerful flavors that possess fine punch to the beautifully well-balanced and persistent finish
