Les Volets Pinot Noir

Bright ruby red, with upfront aromas of freshly-picked raspberries and an underlying savoury leesiness. Fleshy red fruits continue to the palate and are joined by fine tannins and juicy acidity; the foundations of a serious Pinot Noir.

Haute Vallée de l’Aude is an area where altitude plays a vital role in tempering the climate. Separated from the Mediterranean by a range of coastal mountains whose elevation and gradient prompt higher diurnal ranges and allow cool winds from the Atlantic to blow through the vines. The region’s climate resembles South-West France more than the other hot, dry coastal areas of Languedoc. Inspired by Burgundy, this Pinot Noir from Haute Vallée de l’Aude benefits from a cooler influence which slows the ripening process and provides fruit with intense complexity and finesse. The wine is unoaked to maintain a pure, refined elegance and varietal character of Pinot Noir.

Delicious both with and without food; try with a herby sausage casserole, grilled lamb or pea and ham soup. Don't serve too warm!
