Product notes

In 1996 Alain Brumont replanted Pinot Noir in the South West of France. This was followed by 10 years of work, vinification and testing, which resulted in a unique style: Alain Brumont's Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir is being rediscovered, halfway between Burgundy and Oregon.

Production notes

the pre-fermentation maceration is done cold, it lasts 3 to 4 weeks and the fermentation takes place at a temperature of 25°C. The latter is malolactic, allowing the wine to become more supple. Aging on lees in 60% new barrels. Note that the selection of grapes is done with an optical camera.

Tasting notes

A wine of harmony and suppleness on the nose as well as on the palate, with an astonishing aromatic complexity and a very fine finish. A wine to be enjoyed between 4 and 6 years or left to age for 20 to 30 years.
