"One of the most fantastic Pinot Noirs according to *The Wine Advocate*—a must-try for lovers of this exceptional grape variety!"

The 2022 Saint Georges Pinot Noir is one of the most fantastic Pinot Noirs I know. It offers an exceptional nose of fragrant red fruits and conifers against a backdrop of crushed stone. The palate is silky, precise, and concentrated, with a juicy yet angular finish and impressive length. This is an exceptional wine that clearly stands out from its competitors. 2024–2030” (Wine Advocate 2024)
