Bourgogne Chitry Rouge Constance
Olivier Morin

Type
Red Wine
Appelation
Bourgogne Chitry
Variety
Pinot Noir
Morin's Chitry Rouge is a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir from the Yonne - the very northern part of Burgundy that is far more famous for Chardonnay. Sustainably farmed and naturaly vinified just like the whites, this Pinot Noir is a delicious red Burgundy at a reasonable price, which is always a rare proposition when 'red' and 'Burgundy' are on the same label.
