Pierre Boisson, Hautes-Cotes de Beaune Rouge, 2023

The Boissons are best known as Meursault white specialists, but they've been branching into reds, and this Hautes-Cotes de Beaune is everyday red Burgundy done right. Pinot Noir from the cooler, higher hills behind the Cote de Beaune, organically farmed and made in the family's gentle, subtle style with restrained oak. It's the kind of fresh, ethereal Pinot that delivers the Burgundy thrill without the cellar wait or the price climb. The 2023 is bright, friendly and ready to drink.
