Domaine Takahiko 'Yoichi Nobori' Passetoutgrain, Hokkaido, Japan 2023

“Yoichi Nobori” Passetoutgrain 2023 is a beautifully delicate, cool‑climate red from Hokkaido, blending primarily Pinot Noir with a small portion of table grapes (traditionally Niagara) in a nod to the Burgundian Passetoutgrain style.

Light, aromatic, and beautifully precise, it offers vibrant red berries, rose petal, and subtle earthy nuance with silky texture and refreshing acidity. Elegant and Burgundian in spirit yet distinctly Japanese in expression, this small‑production wine is both intellectually compelling and effortlessly drinkable. Extremely limited and coveted by collectors.
