A barrel selection of the best of the Coteaux Nobles vineyard, the 2015 Pinot Noir Joli Coeur has a deep ruby-purple color and very impressive nose of red currants, black raspberries and violets over nuances of pencil lead, iron ore, underbrush and dusty earth, plus a touch of fungi. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has the volume turned up on the earthy, perfumed fruit flavor intensity, with very fine, ripe, pixelated tannins and tons of freshness, finishing very long. 350 cases were made.
