2022 Chevalier du Grand Robert Pinot Noir comes from an area called West Aude, located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees Mountains in southern France. The grapes for this wine are grown across limestone-clay plains and experience a near perfect “diurnal range “or temperature variation between day and night. The month of harvest is September and fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers.
Ripe, red berry, floral notes, and a hint of leather on the nose, a soft, well-balanced palate featuring more cherry, smooth tannins and an elegant finish.
Enjoy this light, versatile red with barbecued chicken thighs or pork chops, your favorite pizza, a hearty salad with protein, or grilled veggie kabobs.
Pinot Noir is an emerging grape varietal from this storied but lesser-known region.
