2019 Hans Herzog Pinot Noir Grand Duc

From time to time, when the stars align, Hans is able to craft not just a beautiful Pinot Noir, but a Grand Duc. A vineyard selection from his finest rows, rooted in specific soil types, and grown at the tiniest yields. Like for a Burgundy Grand Cru, Hans gives this noble wine the time it deserves, barrel and bottle ageing until it reaches its full expressive potential for a wine of depth, finesse, and age-worthy elegance.

Tasting Note: With less than the yield for a Grand Cru, this succulent, richly textured Pinot boasts alluring aromas of cherry and raspberry complemented by subtle hints of violet, dried herbs and warm spices. A velvety texture coats the palate, balanced by a refreshing acidity, fine tannins and intriguing minerality. In the style of Burgundy’s greatest varietal: refined elegance, defined by a long and graceful finish, leaving a lingering impression of bright fruit. A truly exquisite expression of a Pinot Noir unveiling the finest qualities of this varietal and a testament to the dedication and skills of its Vigneron. A wonderful addition to a Burgundy lover’s cellar.
