Tasting notes

Frédéric Magnien is a name that echoes among Burgundy wine enthusiasts, and his Morey-Saint-Denis Larrey 2006 vintage is a testament to his craft. This wine, made entirely from Pinot Noir, captures the cool essence of Burgundy's climate beautifully as a white wine.

In Volume 19 of 'Drops of God,' this wine caught the discerning eye of Honoka Tomine while she perused the wine list on a flight. It's a moment that really stands out, especially knowing it was part of Shizuku Kanzaki's selection. There's a special significance there.

Pour a glass, and you'll see a golden liquid with an aged allure. The first whiff brings a complex aroma of dried herbs and sous-bois, offering depth. On the palate, the lively acidity typical of Pinot Noir bursts forth, accompanied by rich flavors of white peach and pear. The finish is moderately long with a lingering minerality.

With its aged character, serving it slightly chilled around 12°C will bring out its best. You really shouldn't miss out on trying this one.
