If its 2019 counterpart is currently offering very demonstrative drinking, the 2020 Bourgogne Pinot Fin will require a bit of patience, as it's more reticent and less overtly marked by its whole cluster vinification. Unwinding in the glass with notes of plums, dark berries and sweet spices, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a rich core of fruit framed by powdery tannins that assert themselves on the finish, reflecting the conditions of the vintage.

Like many wines from this vintage, Lachaux's 2017 Bourgogne Pinot Fin has put on weight in bottle and is showing more depth and density than it did from barrel. Unwinding in the glass with deep aromas of berry fruits and forest floor mingled with hints of peonies and orange, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with impressive structure and concentration. If anything, it's a touch more introverted than the 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Poisots that I drank a few weeks earlier. This is an overperformer.
