Abbotts & Delaunay Les Fruits Sauvages Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir 2018 (France)
- French oak
- Spiced cherry
- Floral notes
- Silky texture
"It’s attractively fruited and complex on the nose showing spiced cherry, nutmeg, anise and dark mushroom notes, followed by a juicy palate that’s smooth and beautifully rounded. It’s well supported by savoury nuances and silky texture, making it soothing and seductive. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2020
Dark colour, with ruby tints. This Pinot Noir has scents of red and black berries mixed with floral notes, hints of delicate wood and vanilla. The palate is complex, rich, long with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry and jam.
The grapes for this wine come from terraces on the height of the Aude Valley, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Clay and limestone soils. Cooler climate, milder temperatures and rainfalls. 10-year-old vines pruned using the "cordon de Royat" (trellised) and "Guyot" (trellised) methods. Relatively low yields (50 hl/ha).
Cold pre-fermentation maceration (about a week). One week's fermentation at controlled temperatures. 25% of the final blend is aged in oak barrels for 6 to 9 months.
Abbotts & Delaunay varietal wines are fruit forward, easy drinking and elegant wines from the Pays d’Oc that are the perfect complement to our AOC collection. Thanks to work in the vineyards that respects the soil and the vines, we are able to harvest healthy, concentrated grapes as well as take care to preserve the wild plants («Fleurs sauvages» or «Fruits Sauvages») that border them.
Food Pairing: Serve at 17°C with charcuteries, white meat, chicken with a cream sauce and light cheeses.
