I have been reading some good reports on higher-end Champy so thought I would try the entry level offering.
Purchased today for this Focus ($19). Screw cap, served slightly chilled, 13% alc. Quite a light colour, simple earthy nose and not a lot of fruit. Dusty tannins, pretty easy to drink with roast chicken. Dry, strawberry, herbal, good acidity. Try again in 24 hrs.
Not sure what kind of reaction one would get from the new-world crowd?

Well, the wine stood up well overnight and on day 2 the finish was quite an improvement, filling out with more depth and complexity.
Satisfied drinker here

The marketplace around me seems inundated with Burgundy and the West Coast (not that there's anything wrong with that!). I can only hope that things change and many more NZ PNs arrive in the DC/MD area. Are the New Zealand PNs very prevalent in your neck of the woods?

Jenise, yesterday I pulled a bottle out of every case of the wine in question and opened it and tasted it along with another manager. Each bottle was bad so every bottle was pulled from the shelf. The last taste I had left a metallic taste in my mouth, like old pennies, that lasted for hours. It's funny because their 'lesser' central coast bottling is outstanding.

From the good to excellent domaines, the lesser appellations (Bourgogne and villages wines) are punching well above their weight, and the Premiers Crus that I've had have been excellent as well. I haven't had the pleasure of sampling any of the 2009 Grands Crus. There are some excellent pinot noir bargains to be had amongst the 2009 lesser appellations from the good producers.
