Description

The 2021 Pinot Noir Memorious is dark, fleshy and super-expressive, within the context of this generally brighter, leaner vintage. As always, there's quite a bit of stem influence, but those savory notes are beautifully woven into the fruit. Clay rich soils add notable depth, while west-facing exposure conveys energy. That dualism makes for a compelling Pinot endowed with brooding dark fruit and notable textural intensity.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
