Domaine Chicotot, with 17 hectares of organically farmed vines over 60 years old, is a rising star in Nuits-Saint-Georges. You'll recognize the same dark-fruit generosity here, but expressed through Burgundy's cool-climate lens. Chicotot's Pinot Noir delivers plum and blackcurrant character with savory spice and silky tannins that echo Koonunga Hill's elegance, though with more earthy minerality than the Australian's mocha warmth. Organically farmed from 60-year-old vines, this is a serious step up in provenance and complexity. You're tasting genuine Burgundy pedigree at a similar price point—finer-grained tannins and a savory finish that rewards patient sipping.

The 2019 Irancy Pinot Noir from Thierry Richoux is made from 100% hand-harvested grapes from 70-year-old vines. The palate offers notes of red cherries and almonds, with lingering hints of citrus zest and sea salt on the finish. Irancy's hand-harvested Pinot Noir matches that smooth, structured approach you love, with red cherry and almond notes replacing Koonunga Hill's dark plum, but maintaining the same balanced backbone. The citrus zest and sea salt on the finish give you spicy complexity similar to the shiraz-cabernet's clove character. You're getting 70-year-old vines and meticulous hand-harvesting here—this is artisanal French winemaking that punches well above its weight. The mineral, slightly briny finish makes this versatile with food in ways the Australian's plush fruitiness never quite achieves.

This 2021-vintage Mencia has lovely ripe raspberry notes with a touch of rosemary, thyme and menthol. The palate is well balanced with lots of juicy fruit, but a crunch of cranberry on the finish keeps it fresh. A delightful wine to pair with an aubergine stew. Lorca's Mencia offers you that same juicy, fruit-forward appeal as Koonunga Hill with a clever twist: ripe raspberry replaces dark plum, but the wine maintains equally smooth tannins and structural balance. Rosemary, thyme, and menthol spice notes parallel the clove character you're already enjoying. You should try this for its freshness and unusual herb-spice profile—Mencia from northwest Spain is a hidden gem that gives you comparable quality at the same price with genuinely different character. The cranberry snap on the finish adds a savory grip that makes this brilliant with richer, earthier food pairing.
