"Really good summer red with lots of fruit and an uncomplicated feel about it. I would recommend this with light flavoured summer salads and pasta. After 24 hours it remained floral and good to the taste - a good party wine. "

"Lovely colour in the glass but lacking in notes or sophistication to tickle the palate."

"Hard to detect any nose on this, or much fruit. Not one for me, I'm afraid."

"I was a fan of the previous society Pinot noir which was from burgundy, yes it was austere, and it required a bit of patience, it had character, but it was never going to appeal to Pinot noir new world drinkers, as it was an authentic rustic burgundy. This new one is from the south of France but has none of the sunny cherry red fruit attitude you might expect. Yes it has a faint inviting nose. But the wine? I tried it with Lamb, then a bit of cheese, but It took 16hrs! In a decanter before the remaining half bottle showed any hint of fruit, and it was pleasant enough, but even then it still had an edge which suggested it’s just not ready for drinking. 2019 is a pretty good vintage for all french wines...I’d hate to think what a pinot noir of this style would be like in lesser more common vintage. The hunt for a reasonably priced quaffing Pinot Noir from the wine society remains “work in progress” in my humble opinion."

"Got to agree with the other two reviewers who gave this one star. A nice purple colour, doesn't smell of much but it has an aftertaste that really is quite unpleasant. Maybe only be £7.50 but definently one to avoid."

"What's not to like about this? Reminded us of the sort of light Burgundies we used to drink but we would now have to pay double than this for. Prefer it to the fruity but unbalanced New World equivalent. So we are ordering some more. "

"Congratulations to the Society for discovering this typically French wine. If you are looking for an upfront, fruity, New World type wine, then this is not for you. Perhaps this is why some members did not like it. I found it had some body, a hint of fruit and tannin although somewhat closed. In short, exactly as I expected it to be for a Pinot Noir from this part of France at this price. I am glad the Society sources wine like this and not just the easy drinking, in your face stuff. At the price, definitely a 4 star. "

"I agree 100% with Mr Morrison. In fact I can add nothing more on taste etc as the wording of his review is spot on, for us anyway! I guess one should not expect much for £7 for a PN from France. We drink a wide variety of wines from around the world and I think only once have I said of a WS wine 'I really don't like this at all'. The remainder is in the fridge for cooking so not wasted!"

"Fruity, light and moreish. Not overly complex and not with particular depth, but I don't expect that at this price. A marked tendency to change taste and perceived acidity with the food being nibbled. Overall, an enjoyable light wine that won a rare vote of approval from my wife."

"Maybe I opened this too early or maybe it was a bad bottle. Didn’t like it at all. It’s a deep purple, not a lot of body. It smells nice and fruity but there’s an overwhelming bitter taste. It’s not tannins, just on the edge of sour. Lingering aftertaste. Screw cap so put the lid back on and tried another glass next day. Same result but the fruity aroma hard to pick up. Down the sink I’m afraid."
