Laforêt draws Pinot Noir from vineyards across Burgundy, and the house style comes through clearly: elegance and freshness over power. This is the everyday face of a great domaine, and it is made with care rather than shortcuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright ruby in the glass, the nose is a bowl of red fruit — raspberry, redcurrant and wild strawberry — with a subtle floral edge and the faint earthiness that marks out good Pinot. The palate is fruity, refreshing and pleasant, with light tannins and gentle acidity carrying a clean, medium finish. It is not a profound wine, and it does not pretend to be — but it is charming, well-balanced and unmistakably Burgundian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt £25.99 it is fair value for a Drouhin Bourgogne and a lovely bottle for a simple weeknight or a first taste of Pinot. Drink it over the next two to three years while it is fresh and lively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe lightly chilled, 13–15°C, in a Burgundy bowl. No decanting — enjoy the fruit as it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoble Rot Soho for its Burgundy-loving list. The Wolseley for an easy lunch.
