Tasting notes
The 2023 Pinot Noir Le Pré du Col Vineyard has a jeweled medium-red hue and a more savory character. It opens with notes of red cherries, cinnamon spice, porcini mushrooms, cherry pit, and dark stones, with ripe tannins and a mossy earth undertone. Despite its savory depth and umami undertones, it remains pure and lifted, with refreshing acidity, a supple, silky texture, and ripe tannins. Medium-bodied and never turning astringent, it finishes long and floral. Drink 2025-2045.

Matured for 11 months, the 2023 Pinot Noir Le Pré du Col Vineyard has slowly opening scents of blackberry, pomegranate, shiitake mushrooms and damp earth. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and floral with refined tannins, mouthwatering acidity and a long, nuanced finish. It will benefit from 2–3 years in the cellar. 986 cases were made.
Distinctly savory in the glass, the 2023 Pinot Noir Le Pré du Col wafts up with a whiff of mentholated herbs that lend freshness to nuances of flowery underbrush, rose petals and crushed stone. The palate is soft-textured and round, with bright acidity and depths of crisp red and blue fruits swirling beneath an air of lavender pastille. Crunchy and long, this leaves a tinge of licorice and sour citrus on the long finish.
