From one of the great vineyard's of the Cote d'Or - the heart of Burgundy - come this beautiful pinot noir....Syvie owns some of the oldest vines and by all accounts gets the best barrels.....her production is tiny and most of it is quickly grabbed up by collectors so we were thrilled to get a bit here in NC
