2018 Maison Evenstad, Volnay Premier Cru Les Brouillards Pinot Noir

Proprietors of world-renowned vineyards and wineries in Oregon and Burgundy, Ken and Grace Evenstad crafted Maison Evenstad to offer collectible and extremely limited wines that showcase the rich and diverse terroir found only in Burgundy.

Taking its name from the French word for "wooded area,” Les Brouillards Premier Cru vineyard features a delicate layer of clay over limestone soils. The resulting wines express classic Volnay elegance and complexity, with generous and silky tannins.

Deep and ruby in color, this highly expressive Pinot Noir brings great acidity and minerality to the nose. Ripe dark fruit notes of red plum and huckleberry meet wildflower, pink peppercorn, and tobacco to build an opulent expression on the palate.
