Pinot Noir T

You may already know that Pinot Noir is one of our four favorite red wine varieties. That's why we're particularly proud of Pellegrin's Pinot Noir T. It grows in a vineyard that Jean-Pierre planted many years ago – small but exquisite – which he planted with a devilishly good massale selection from a dear friend in Neuchâtel. These grapes are something very special and are always harvested and fermented separately – no easy task with such a small quantity, as fermentation always requires a critical mass (too few grapes, too high a temperature). Jean-Pierre and his team manage to get the best out of these grapes and transform them into a wine that has little to do with his P but is not completely out of context. More Burgundian than Jean-Pierre's P and slightly more robust than the wines from the famous home of Pinot Noir. The wine has a delicate and elegant aroma of dark berries, dried flowers and a hint of spices. All these components combine in an endless loop in varying proportions, constantly reinventing themselves. An indescribably exciting aroma. Powerful and assertive at first, yet with great elegance, the wine takes over the palate. The structure is of the highest quality, with firm but ultra-fine tannins and excellent acidity, giving the wine a hellishly long finish that leaves the tongue clicking in disbelief. Even though the wine is grown in the Geneva region, a certain similarity to a wine from northern Burgundy is striking.
