Vin Noe Reve Americain Pommard 2023

Grape: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2023
Type: Red

Burgundian micro-domaine and estate Vin Noé is the project of young Californian winemaker Jonathan Purcell. After graduating from his studies in Beaune, Jonathan built an impressive resume, with working as a tractor operator at Domaine de Montille and also for many years under the legendary Philippe Pacalet.

Jonathan established Vin Noé in 2016, based out of an 100-year-old cuverie in Auxey-Duresses. Wines are produced using purchased grapes from the Mâcon, Beaujolais, and more recently from leased sites in Puligny-Montrachet and Saint Aubin.

Sourced from three parcels throughout Pommard, the largest one being Les Noizons (situated above 1er Cru Les Pezerolles), the other two being Croix Blanche and Poisot. Very low yields and rather old vines. 10 days of semi-carbonic vinification in stainless steel, sugars finished in old barrels, where the wine ages for 9 months.
While it offers incredible concentration and balance, it isn’t quite as dark-fruited and generous as 2020, but more perfumed and delicate. Lovely tension on the palate, culmination on a very long, mineral finish.
