Two strains of Pinot Noir are mentioned here, do the clones listed fall into Droit or Fin/Classique?

Interesting to see the clonal selections cross compared with characteristics that normally are described in finished wine that can ultimately vary based upon picking/winemaking choices. The interesting table to see would be vigor and morphological differences based upon trellising and base soil types. A nice article to ponder on though. The research goes on...

Good information. Would love to see a list of $20-$40 burgundies you'd recommend.

Thanks for this article! I really enjoyed the history behind many of the colonial selections. Great work!

Thank you Christy. Having just completed vintage working simultaneously at two Pinot Noir producers, my initial thoughts are in line with the "the jigsaw of qualities to consider" and that, for me, without a doubt, Pinot Noir is site specific. I had the good fortune to taste many barrel samples from many specific sites, often the same clones and then again samples from the 2011 wines before they were blended. Fascinating and fun. Then to add to the puzzle, think about the yeast protocol and barrel selections. This was a great article.

Great post! What about other Pinot Noir producing regions? Alsace, Friuli, Germany, Patagonia? Does clonal selection affect the flavor profiles of the wines coming out of those regions as much as it does California, Oregon, and Australia? Do clones grown in different wine growing regions display the same flavor profiles just on a more/less ripeness scale, or does the terroir of the region play a bigger role in the flavor profile of the end result?

I loved the comparisson tasting notes on the link!
