Tasting notes

Domaine Coillot is renowned for crafting exquisite wines from Marsannay, situated in the northernmost part of Burgundy. The "Les Longeroies" is a standout, composed entirely of Pinot Noir. The 2009 vintage brings out the elegance and finesse that this grape can achieve in the cool climate, giving it a delicate acidity while maintaining a strong structure.

In Volume 32 of 'Drops of God', this wine was selected by Shizuku for business class, showcasing its refined nature. He enjoyed it mid-flight, captivated by its elegance. Imagine a ballerina on stage, her grace mesmerizing the audience—this wine captures that essence with a remarkable blend of elegance and underlying power.

The color is transitioning from ruby to garnet, with a hint of orange at the rim. The nose is open, offering vibrant aromas of cherry and raspberry, layered with notes of tea and dried herbs. Just the aroma gives a sense of the profound finish to come.

On the palate, the wine reveals a firm acidity that tightens the overall profile, while silky tannins spread smoothly. The fruitiness is lush, and the complexity from aging harmonizes beautifully, leaving a long, elegant, and powerful finish. Best enjoyed without decanting, served at 57-61°F to appreciate its full character.
