Lively red fruit, with a smoky note from the stems (60%). Very aromatic and pure – a classic Au Bon Climat hallmark is the intense fragrance of the Pinots. Floral as well. Masses of ripe, soft red fruit on the palate, think redcurrants, cranberries, et al. Very supple tannins and a fine boned structure. One for Christmas lunch in a couple of years.

A new vineyard for BBR, the Talley was for me the stand-out wine of our visit. The fruit is ripe and approachable and there is an impressive level of complexity here that keeps the focus of the wine and the drinker.
