A decided step up from the 2020 “regular” Estate bottling on current offer, Laetitia’s 2019 Reserve du Domaine appears a little darker and a feels a little richer, with black cherry and plum getting the cardamom and brown spice treatment thanks to a little more new oak in the mix. This is a serious Pinot Noir at a more than fair price.
