Maison Valdesay Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2017

Valdesay takes its name from Old French meaning ‘Valley of Hope.’ This wine comes from the very good 2017 vintage and will deliver an elegant glassful of earthy berry fruit that’ll pair nicely with beef bourguignon or coq au vin. You could hardly hope for a better red Burgundy at such an approachable price.[Gilbert & Gaillard did not include a tasting note.] Score – Gold. (Gilbert & Gaillard International Challenge, 2018)
