Pinot Noir coming from the area called Tonnerre, from the eastern reaches of Chablis. Decades ago, it was said making red wines here was impossible: it was too cold to ripen those grapes. Now, with talented people like Vincent Thomas of Domaine de la Chappe working there and the climate having changed, it's some of the best terroir to create balanced, light Pinot Noirs, instead of the hulking 14% brutes you'll see in the Côte d'Or sometimes. Drink this clear bottle of Bourgogne rouge to remember why the region matters: freshness, purity, red berry fruit and flinty earth. A treat.
