Le Clos Jordanne Le Grand Clos Pinot Noir 2020

This second return for Le Clos Jordanne’s top tier pinot noir carries the weight meets grace of a most excellent varietal vintage. How to find more ripeness than this is the question and yet at a number of shall we say 8.5 out of ten the winning is real because acids captured and kept are the driver and the accomplice. Thomas Bachelder does not hold back and in fact macerates the beauty out of Twenty Mile Bench fruit equipped with some of the lower escarpment’s finest tannins of an ilk rarely risen through the host of pinot noir. Fineness achieved with fruit shaded in the motherland direction as a reminder of what can happen when nature conspires this way in mimic of an appellation like Marsannay. Drink 2022-2027. Tasted November 2022. Score – 93. (Michael Godel, winealign.com)
