TASTING NOTES
Ruby red in color, with an aromatic nose of black cherries with elegant floral notes. On the palate, this pinot noir is silky and well balanced with smooth tannins.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
This wine pairs ideally with poultry, cold meats, and soft cheeses and should be served at room temperature of 16 degrees Celsius.
VINEYARD
Plots with the best balance between soil, plant and microclimate are selected: North-facing hills for this wine. Control of yields via optimal management of nutrition and de-budding. The Versant Pinot Noir vines are situated on sunny south-facing hills near Maraussan (Languedoc-Roussillon. The soil, made up of chalky ‘terres blanches’, is ideal for Pinot Noir.
VINIFICATION
Work in reducing atmosphere preserves the sparkle of the aromas. Pre-fermentation, cold maceration for 5-6 days to extract intense fruit. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel, temperature controlled vats. Maceration for 2 weeks with 2 short pumpings per day for more gentle extraction. Malolactic fermentation.
