FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does the term “Pinot Fin” refer to a grape variety other than Pinot Noir?

No: it refers to an old, small-berried Pinot Noir clone known for its concentration and finesse. The point is therefore to discover a particular expression of Pinot Noir, not another grape variety.

Should you choose this wine if you are mainly looking for a powerful red?

The concentration associated with Pinot Fin is not enough to suggest a powerful wine. The description primarily highlights finesse and elegance: these are the cues to focus on when choosing this bottle.

How does it compare with Henri Germain’s 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir?

These two bottles offer an opportunity to compare Pinot Noir wines from the Bourgogne appellation, with the distinctive feature here being Pinot Fin. However, the information provided does not allow us to say which would be more supple, more intense, or more evolved.

What kind of themed tasting would this 2018 Bourgogne Pinot Fin suit?

It would fit well in a tasting dedicated to the different expressions of Pinot Noir in Burgundy. The Pinot Fin designation provides a concrete talking point about concentration and finesse, while the wine is presented as an introduction to the elegance of Arnoux-Lachaux.

Can this bottle be used as a benchmark for all red Burgundies?

Not on its own: the appellation covers all of Burgundy, whereas this wine comes from an estate in the Côte de Nuits. It is more relevant to consider it an expression of the Arnoux-Lachaux style than a summary of the entire appellation.
