2023 Domaine du Comte Armand Bourgogne Rouge Oregon Red when the vineyards were largelyFewer than 300 cases made. Red cherry, cranberry, violet, a little earth everything you want from a village level Burgundy and nothing you don't. This is Comte Armand, one of the great old families of the Cte de Beaune, farming the same ground since 1826, certified organic and biodynamic since Pascal Marchand showed up in 1984 and quietly changed everything. No fining, no filtration, native yeast, lunar calendar. Two centuries of getting it right.
