The kind of wine

Burgundy grand cru (Pinot Noir)

A Pinot Noir from one of the top-ranked vineyards of Burgundy. The plots are tiny and each vine gives very little wine.

What a bottle like this costs to make

A glass of red wine on a mossy stone wall beside an autumn vineyard, with a church spire in the mist

Good years and bad
