Le Grand Noir Pinot Noir 2019 (France)
- Oaked
- Raspberry
- Pepper
- Refreshing finish
A very distinctive and immediately enjoyable Pinot Noir, this is a very juicy, raspberryish, cherryish wine with hints of strawberry and oak and a refreshing note of pepper.
From the coolest area (Limoux) of the South of France influenced by the fact that it is Situated at the foothill of the Pyrenees rising to 400 meters above sea level Sea breezes both from the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean
Strong viticulture control starting with defined Clone selection aimed at obtaining low yields, good canopy management helping produce ripeness. The rows are grassed down to avoid excessive vigour. In tourist terms, Limoux is considered the Tuscany of the South of France.
Made in a very Burgundian manner. The whole bunches went through a period of cold soak. Fermentation on skins lasted 2 weeks prior to pressing. There was Burgundian-style manual punch-down to break up the cap and maximise colour. Very little press wine was used.
Would be good slightly chilled, especially in warm weather.
Made from 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Grenache.
Food Pairing: Great by itself or to accompany a wide range of meat dishes, but could also be enjoyed with fish such as tuna or salmon.
