Region: Gers & Aude Valley
Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Winemaker: Hilde Chevillot
Alcohol: 12.5%
Sourcing: Fruit from the Gers region, in the centre of southern France provides a core of rich and vibrant fruit with impressive depth whilst the high altitude, cool climate Aude Valley fruit provides high note aromatics and bright, fresh acidity.
Winemaking: Totally de-stemmed before a long, cool maceration. Maturation is primarily in stainless steel with roughly one third undergoing carbonic maceration, aiding aromatics and fruit expression. A further third receives six month maturation in French oak for greater complexity.
2020 Vintage: Another consistent vintage for the Aude Valley. Less hot than previous vintages meaning a reprieve for vignerons. Mild temperatures and good rainfall in Spring ensured steady bud burst. The berries achieved full ripeness, have fine acidities and fragrant flavours. 2020 was an excellent vintage.
