Pinot Noir Case

An exceptional vintage for Pierre Gassmann in terms of volume and quality, this pinot noir is concentrated and ripe, yet is perfectly balanced with crisp acidity and fine grained, well managed tannins. Brambles and redcurrants are supported by liquorice and hints of smokiness and black pepper.

A prime example of the fresh, red-fruited and delicately floral pinot which is done so well in Marlborough, New Zealand. Made for us by icon of the region, Ben Glover, this is an elegant Chambolle-esque pinot, with crushed strawberry, cherry and rose-petal notes on the nose. The palate is crunchy, energetic and lifted.

A great pinot from Monterey in California, where the vines benefit from the cooling winds and fogs from the Pacific. This is a vibrant redcurrant and cranberry-fruited wine, with a little balancing oak and a fresh finish. We are supporting Scheid, through our 2024 Climate & Nature fund in their efforts to obtain Bee Friendly Farming (BFF) Certification, offered by Pollinator Partnership. This project aims to support Scheid in planting and creating habitats and food for native bee colonies.

Our third vintage of the successful Exhibition Spätburgunder has been produced by a young winemaker in the Pfalz, Vincent Eymann, whose estate has been working organically and biodynamically for many years. The 2024 vintage was cooler than both the 2023 and 2022 vintages and is reflected in crushed strawberries, red currant and red plums combined with lots of energy on the palate. Tannins are fine grained and the wine is incredibly well balanced.

Bright and sappy organic pinot noir with good purity of fruit and soft, cherry-laden palate. What makes this winery a little different is that it is situated in the Mauges area, not far from Muscadet, which has no AOP, which explains its diversity of plantings. He also has a diverse range of soils, and grows his pinot predominantly on schist.

A pinot to delight the senses: fresh, round and fruity with a hint of cherry and plenty of charm. Best drunk a little cool. Much of it is sourced from around Limoux, which works well in years of heatwaves.
