Pascal Bellier 2022 Cheverny Rouge
The sheer prettiness of the Pinot fruit is reason alone to want this, but here is one of those wines whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It is an animated, proportionate and thought-provoking wine that also happens to be awfully easy to drink. Perfection of its understated kind. When a sun-kissed vintage like 2018 meets the inherent tension of this terroir, you really do get a Platonic ideal of the intellectual and the hedonistic.
