This Pinot Noir matures without burning, the clay-limestone soils keep the freshness and allow the grapes to ripen slowly; ideally. The woody touch that we bring to it in the maturing process gives it empyreumatic, smoky notes… almost peaty like a whisky. We are getting out of the “traditional” expressions of the Pinot IGP Pays d’Oc and have decided to free ourselves from the syndicate by being in Vin de France appellation. A sublime expression of rose petals, a very light texture. “It pinotes” and we feel that these grapes have seen the sun… in moderation!2022 : Jancis Robinson 16/20, James Suckling 88, Wine Advocate 88.
