Not good. Closed nose. Felt like water in the mouth. It was drinkable with food, but that’s about it. Tasted more like a cheap Rose than a pinot from Cote D’Or. Fruit was nearly non-existant, and the acidity was way out of balance. I've seen other reviews that rave about this wine...so, I don't know, maybe it was just a bad bottle. I'm missing something here.
I have had little to no success with any wine labeled as an “Alfio Moriconi Selection”. This is the first I’ve had that this label appeared so prominently on the front of the bottle. I will beware of this in the future.

I can't agree more. I have the same bad experience with any wine I purchased that were labeled with Alfio Moriconi Selection...

I know this is ages old, but I wonder if you've had any of the Valserrano wines? Or perhaps the 2009 Bougrier "V" Vouvray. Some of his choices are very off, but they seem to be getting a little better. At least these are.
