Pinot Noir
75cl * 13% ABV * Auvergne and Drôme, France
A dark red colour complemented by a beautiful bouquet of red berry fruits and a touch of spices. The wine is complex on the palate with elegant but assetive tannins.
This Pinot Noir is produced mostly north to the 45th parallel in the Auvergne and Drôme area. Here, the Pinot benefits from a continental climate, similar to Burgundy, with long sunny days and cool nights combining with a typical soil that allows full expression of the fruit and Pinot Noir elegance.
In 2024, the harvest in Auvergne and the Drôme was challenging, with reduced yields due to a cool, wet growing season that increased disease pressure, particularly mildew, though careful sorting allowed producers to obtain sound fruit in well-managed vineyards.
Small yields and a late harvest to ensure the maturity of the grapes. The grapes are then destemmed and we start a cold fermentation to extract delicate fruit notes. Classic burgundy fermentation lasts two weeks and is carefully monitored. The wine is not aged in oak casks to keep the fruit and freshness of the Pinot Noir.
