"The 2022 Pinot Noir Memorious is deep, fleshy and super-expressive, as it always is. Dark red cherry/plum fruit, spice, new leather and dried herbs are all beautifully laced together. Pliant and open, the 2022 has a ton to offer. Memorious offers a combination of the elements that make Domaine de la Côte a special site, namely a mix of energy from the vineyard's west-facing aspect and textural resonance from the presence clay in the soils."

"Bright and piercing, offering a mix of black cherry, damson plum and raspberry coulis notes laced with savory, singed sandalwood, red tea and iron details. A light stem hint through the lengthy, pure finish adds an extra textural note. For the cellar. Best from 2025 through 2036. —J.M."
