Pinot Noir

Overview
Traditionally used in the Bordeaux region, Pinot Noir gains a foothold in the South of France thanks to its qualities: a beautiful tannic structure with a lot of roundness and suppleness.

Grape Variety

100% Pinot Noir

Aging Potential

2 to 3 years

Vineyard

The vineyard is located in the south-east of the southern Ardèche, in the communes of Alba La Romaine and Villeneuve de Berg. The Pinot is planted on clay-limestone soils, on hillsides or half-slopes. The climate is Mediterranean.

Winemaking

This cuvée is vinified in the traditional way: after a maceration of 5 to 6 days, part of the harvest is aged in oak barrels for 6 to 7 months.

Tasting Notes

Ruby in color. Aromatically complex with hints of blackcurrant buds, morello cherries, and a touch of vanilla. Supple and round on the palate, with well-integrated tannins. A fine and balanced wine.

Food and Wine Pairing

Perfect alongside cold meats, picnic-style dishes, or country meals. Also pairs beautifully with game like pheasant or roasted partridge.

Best served at 16°C.
