Tasting Note

This charming Loire Pinot Noir opens with an invitingly floral bouquet, where notes of violet and wild rose mingle with hints of forest floor and soft spice. Beneath the aromatic lift lies a bright core of red berry fruit—think raspberry, red cherry, and cranberry—bringing both clarity and freshness. The palate is supple and approachable, with fine, silky tannins and a lively acidity that keeps the wine buoyant and refreshing. Subtle earthy undertones add intrigue and a sense of place, while the gentle influence of older oak lends a whisper of roundness and depth.

Elegant yet easy-drinking, this is a wonderfully versatile Pinot Noir suited to light charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled salmon, or mushroom dishes. Enjoy it (slightly chilled in hot conditions) for maximum vibrancy over the next few years.
