About the Wine: Pinot Noir has been grown in the Burgundy region of France since forever, basically. Bourgogne Rouge, or Red Burgundy is simply Pinot Noir from that region and the French government has long taken steps to prevent other red varietals, particularly Gamay, from being too closely associated with the region. Red Burgundy is known for its full, earthy qualities.
About THIS Wine: It is very light in the glass, even for a Pinot Noir. I would describe the color as hot pink. Velvety dark fruit makes up a pleasant nose. The palate is mild with prominent flavors of strawberry ending is a raspberry finish.
Drinking This Wine: This would make a pleasant sipping wine and it could go well with grilled chicken.
Overall Impression: This is nothing like a traditional Burgundy Pinot Noir but it is very pleasant. This wine is good for the price.
