For us, carefully-grown Pinot Noir from good old vines planted on the flint of the central Loire Valley can give many red Burgundies a run for their money. And when it comes to value, there’s almost no comparison, especially when the Pinot is Thierry Delaille’s always-reliable “Unique” cuvée. In fact, we’d call this one of the world’s best Pinot Noir values! The 2016 is appropriately savory, broad and just a bit rustic...perfect for a salad of duck confit and frisée.
