True Coast Pinot Noir, Red, 2022
PRESENTATION
Bruno Lafon and Pinot Noir are Burgundy's dynamic duo. Bruno handpicks his vineyards with the precision of a master chef selecting ingredients – situated high where cool air reigns supreme, ensuring the grapes develop those rich aromas and deep colors. This approach is less about farming grapes and more about crafting superstars, resulting in wines with exceptional character and flair!
LOCATION
In the cooler climes of Limoux, Pinot Noir grapes bask on northern slopes, leisurely ripening to perfection. This region is the Pinot's ultimate chill-out zone in the sunny South of France. The soil, a zesty blend of chalk, limestone, and clay, is like a gourmet buffet for the grapes. This unique mix endows Bruno's Pinot selection with an extra kick of flavor and elegance. Sipping this wine, one relishes a taste of the area's finest, each grape slowly maturing into exquisite deliciousness!
VINIFICATION
In the winemaking process, it's all about the cool factor. The grapes undergo traditional vinification in gleaming stainless steel tanks, with fermentation kept under a breezy 20°C (68°F). After a relaxed two to four-week mingle in the tanks, these grapes are all dressed up and ready for their bottle debut. It's classic winemaking with a chill twist.
VARIETAL

TASTING
This Pinot Noir is a fragrant affair, bursting with the lively essence of strawberries, raspberries, and red cherries – the signature scents of a classic Pinot nurtured in a cool climate. In your glass, its ruby hue whispers of succulent summer red fruits, woven with notes of freshly ground clove and exotic goji berries. The experience is rounded off with silky tannins and a subtle whisper of dried herbs that stay with you long after the last sip.
