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

The 2022 Pinot Noir Saint Georges is one of the most fantastic Pinot Noirs I know. It boasts an exceptional nose of fragrant red fruits and pine, set 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)
