Franc de Pied pinot noir 2009 Charlopin

Professional reviews

Vinous (89)

The 2009 Bourgogne Franc de Pied is made from vineyards in Marsannay vinified with 30% whole clusters. It comes across as taut, focused and lean, with limited expressiveness in its fruit. Then again, Charlopin poured this after the Chambertin, which may not have been fair to the wine.

Burghound (91)

A perfumed and highly complex nose of very ripe earth-infused red berry fruit aromas complements the dense, mouth coating and palate staining flavors that possess outstanding length. It's rare to find a Bourgogne at this quality level, expensive or not.
