I had this new years eve and thought it was pretty good. I realized later
this was my first French pinot. I read later this was a new direction for
Drouhin, assembled from grapes from their properties all over Burgundy
(though it sounded like a marketing driven product).

Could you recommend some 'next steps' in expanding my experience with French
pinot noirs?

TIA,
Jon
