Pinot Noir 2024
Trade Tools
Global / Puy de Dome
These Pinot Noir grapes were discovered in two ideal regions of France, Puy de Dôme and Méditerranée. Both feature vines 15-40 years old in high-altitude vineyard sites near the 45th parallel. Hot days and cold nights bestow delicacy and finesse, as in Burgundy. Master Blender Jean-Pierre Rodet rejected hundreds of lots to find the perfect grapes to craft this luscious Pinot Noir. Grapes are de-stemmed before undergoing a cold maceration at 43 - 46°F for 5-7 days to extract delicate fruit notes, very unusual for a Vin de Pays.
Harvest Note
The 2024 harvest experienced some challenges due to adverse weather conditions, including spring frosts and increased rainfall, which led to significant reductions in yield. Despite these challenges, the grapes that were harvested exhibited good ripeness and acidity, suggesting potential for high-quality wines. Winemakers noted that this vintage offers notable freshness and balance, reflecting the resilience of the vineyards. The vineyards, benefiting from volcanic soils, produced wines with pronounced minerality and vibrant red fruit flavors.
Tasting Note
Airy nose of raspberry and cherry complimented by fine spicy notes. Fresh, balanced and delicate on the palate.
