Domaine Pierre Ponnelle  
Pierre Ponnelle has been an important Burgundy house for over 100 years. They are owners of prestigiousDomaines largely made up of Premiers & Grand Crus notably Musigny, Bonnes Mares, Charmes Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, Chambolle Musigny Les Argilières, Vougeot Le Prieuré, Corton Clos du Roi, Beaune Grèves, Beaune Clos du Roi. Alongside the wines of Burgundy, Pierre Ponnelle also offers an impressive selection of wines from Beaujolais. This particular Pinot Noir is a special export particularly for the United States. It is delightfully aromatic and sits softly on the tongue like a quality Burgundy should. You won’t believe how sophisticated and well-made this Pinot is once you see the price. For under $12, I challenge anyone to find a better Pinot Noir than this.
