($32): Bourgogne Rouge is a category often overlooked (and rightly so) by consumers.  But from good producers, such as Maume, these wines represent a good introduction to Burgundy and its Pinot Noir.  Quite forward, this one is full of ripe good black cherry flavors and acidity and balanced by a hint of earthiness.  An engaging dollop of creamy oak–characteristic of Maume’s wines when young–makes it seductive now. 87 Michael Apstein Oct 21, 2008
